About the Program and Position:

Our Home Study and Post Release Services (HS/PRS) program is dedicated to making a significant impact on 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 significant difference.

Under the supervision of the VP of HS/PRS, the Director of Clinical Services will provide clinical oversight to the HS/PRS Clinical team. This staff will work closely with the VP to ensure the delivery of robust, patient-centered, and culturally sensitive practice.
