Long Term Foster Care and Unaccompanied Refugee Minor Intern
4 months ago
If you are passionate about transforming communities with a mission-driven organization, then we have the opportunity for you
Reporting to the Associate Director for LTFC and URM, the LTFC and URM Intern will collaborate with the Senior Program Officer for LTFC and Program Officer for URM for the assignment of duties. The purpose of this role is to support the LTFC and URM networks with trainings and resources that contribute to the technical assistance given by Global Refuge. This is a paid internship.
Program Description: In long term foster care, unaccompanied children without family reunification options but who have the possibility of receiving legal immigration protections, are provided ongoing case management support as they integrate into their new communities. The services provided by Global Refuge's network of partners include case management services, access to medical and mental health services, access to educational program and legal services, in addition to programming that provides youth with the opportunity to develop independent living skills. The unaccompanied children continue to receive these services until they are reunified with a qualified family member or are granted immigration protections and are able to transfer to the unaccompanied refugee minor (URM) program. Through collaborative efforts and strategic planning, Global Refuge places URM in family foster care, group homes and semi-independent living settings through a network of URM provider agencies. Global Refuge works with affiliates who provide culturally appropriate services to support the acculturation and integration of children into communities all over the country. Partner agencies provide services in parity with domestic foster care programs, but tailor programs to meet the unique needs of refugee and migrant children. Most URM enter the program between 15 and 17 years of age and are provided the option of receiving the support of a foster family or working towards independence in a group home setting. Both options allow each URM to receive case management services, including educational services from high school enrollment to college prep. Through this program, migrant and refugee children are prepared for independence in healthy situations that foster resiliency, permanency, and integration through sustainable long-term relationships in welcoming communities. Depending on the state, URM are able to remain in the program until their 21st or 22nd birthday.
Global Refuge, formerly known as Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service (LIRS), is a nonprofit serving newcomers seeking safety, support, and a share in the American dream. Since 1939, we have welcomed those seeking refuge, upholding a legacy of compassion and grace for people in crisis. We walk alongside individuals, families, and children as they begin their new lives in the United States through our work in refugee resettlement, welcome and respite services for asylum seekers, economic empowerment and employment, and family unification for unaccompanied children. To date, we have served over 750,000 people from around the globe. Our comprehensive services leverage our extensive organizational expertise as well as government, community, and faith partnerships.
Attracting and retaining the best talent is vital to our continued growth and we are proud to offer an excellent benefits package including:
- medical, dental, vision available the first day of employment,
- professional development, tuition reimbursement,
- generous paid time off including 20 days of vacation, 12 days of sick leave, 12 paid holidays,

- an annual wellness benefit that can be customized to support your personal needs including funding enrichment classes, gym memberships, and healthy eating plans (to name a few) all in an inclusive and progressive environment
At Global Refuge, welcoming newcomers isn't just our duty-it's an inherent part of our identity, rooted in our Lutheran heritage and inspired values and serving as a testament to our unwavering commitment to those in search of refuge.
