About the Program and the Family Nurse Practitioner 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.

Our Family Nurse Practitioners play a crucial role in assessing and ensuring the health and well-being of our accompanied children who are trying to establish a new home in the United States. Our Family Nurse Practitioners support and treat any medical needs required by the children in our program. They work collaboratively with other team members involved in the child's care to provide appropriate services.
