Description
Description Description: The Connecticut Institute for Refugees and Immigrants is seeking a dedicated intern to support the Refugee Department. The intern would work in the Reception & Placement program to provide intensive case management for refugees living in the United States for 90 days or less. Since Reception and Placement is the initial arrival program for refugees, the primary goal is to assist them in their integration, while giving them the best possible chance at self-sufficiency. Interns will work with case managers to help refugee clients newly arriving in America including their housing set up, education enrollment, and initial medical appointments. This is a hands-on experience, composed in equal parts of work inside the office and in the community. Interns will be asked to visit clients and may accompany them to certain appointments, such as such as health assessments, Social Security, and DSS appointments, when the case manager is not available Duration and Schedule: This is an unpaid internship position requiring a commitment of 8-15 hours per week for a duration of one semester. The schedule is flexible and can be tailored to accommodate the intern's academic requirements. Qualifications Currently pursuing or recently completed a degree in Social Work, International Relations, Human Services, or a related field. Strong communication and interpersonal skills. Ability to work with diverse populations in a culturally sensitive manner. Detail-oriented with good organizational skills. Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook) preferred. Fluency in a second language (e.g., Spanish, Arabic, Dari, Pashto) is a plus.
