(ECDC), established in 1983, is a non-profit, community-based organization that advocates on behalf of refugee and immigrant issues; conducts cultural, health education, and socio-economic development programs; and resettles refugees in the U.S. through a network of affiliate partners. While organized to respond initially to the needs of a growing Ethiopian community in the Washington, D.C., area, ECDC from its inception has been serving newcomers from diverse cultural backgrounds. Our clients come from countries such as Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Congo, Somalia, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Bhutan, Burma, and China.
The Youth Program Intern will assist the Youth and Special Program Coordinator in implementing program activities. This includes preparing activities for the after school program, planning and possibly teaching workshops on life skills (e.g. healthy study habits, time management, etc.), attending after school sessions for homework help on Tuesday Wednesday, and/or Thursday afternoons, maintaining client files, and other tasks as needed.
This position requires someone who can use MS Office and has a strong interest in working with youth. The selected individual will need to submit a background check eventually and need to have either completed college or be enrolled in an undergraduate program. This opportunity requires at least 2 business days per week.

Mission Statement
The African Community Center of the DC Metro (ACC-DC) is a branch office of The Ethiopian Community Development Council, Inc. (ECDC), one of ten Resettlement Agencies authorized by the Department of State to resettle refugees. ECDC’s mission is to resettle and assist refugees and immigrants in integrating successfully into their new communities in the U.S.. ACC-DC is responsible for directly helping refugees located in the DC metro area with offices in Arlington, VA and Silver Spring, MD. ACC-DC provides social, educational, and employment programs for newly resettled refugees while working with community partners to promote self-sufficiency and integration across the DC area.
Description
ACC-DC is non-profit organization that works toward the resettlement of refugees within the United States. We conduct case work, as well as educational and social outreach programs for newly arrived refugee families. These programs are aimed to help the families recover from past traumatic experiences, get adjusted to American life, and become economically self-sufficient contributing members of their new communities. The refugees we work with refugees come from all across the globe.
Some of the services that we provide refugee families include:
- Housing and rent for 3 months (families will hopefully be self-sufficient by this time)
- Basic home furnishings
- Enrollment in ESL classes
- Setting up medical and social security appointments
- School enrollment for the children
- Helping refugee families connect with their new communities on a social and logistical level
