Through a partnership with the Department of State, the IRC assists over 11,000 refugees to resettle in the U.S. every year. IRC staff meet refugees at the airport and provide initial housing, furnishings, food, and clothing. These Core Services delivered address the basic needs of food, shelter and legal rights for refugees in the early, critical stages of resettlement in order to begin their transition toward rapid self-sufficiency.
Health Volunteers will work closely with the Health Specialists on the Case Management team. Primary responsibilities will be to make appointments for clients with health providers, and to provide data entry and case note assistance. Health Volunteers may also provide transportation and support for client medical appointments or to initial health screenings.
NOTE: This is an excellent position for individuals interested in public health.
4+ hours/week between Monday-Friday from 9am-5pm, with a preference for Monday & Wednesday availability
