About The Program And Position

Our Transitional Foster Care Program for Unaccompanied Children (UC) overseen by the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), ensures the well-being and safety of unaccompanied children (ages 0-17) who cross the US Southern border without an adult. Unlike traditional congregate care settings, our approach involves placing unaccompanied children in foster homes while diligently searching for and assessing potential sponsors identified in the US. During their stay with us, we provide medical care, case management, engaging life skills classes, and essential mental health services. The role our Medical Assistants play in all of this is crucial to the health & wellbeing of our unaccompanied children who are trying to establish a new home in the U.S.

Our Medical Assistants are passionate about helping this vulnerable population and provide support for any medical needs required by the unaccompanied children we serve.
