About the Program and Position:

Our Home Study and Post Release Services (HS/PRS) program is dedicated to significantly impacting the lives of unaccompanied children aged 0- 17 ½. Referred through shelters or trusted foster care providers, these children rely on our continuous support throughout their journey from the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) to their parents or sponsors. We can guide and empower these children and sponsors through an unfamiliar system, which makes a great difference.

Under the direction of the Assistant Vice President of Case Management, the Regional Director will oversee a team of case managers who assist youth and their families to receive the support they need to experience a safe transition out of ORR care and into their communities. The role of the Regional Director is to lead, train, and provide guidance to their team while also providing administrative support to the Assistant Vice President.
