Additional Info: Children’s Corps is a fresh new approach to strengthen the child welfare system. They are a community of professionals working to ensure that all children have safe, nurturing and stable homes. Inspired by the Teach for America model, Children’s Corps looks for individuals who are dedicated to helping vulnerable children and families touched by the child welfare system. Once selected into Children’s Corps, members will enter our five-week summer leadership academy, after which they are hired as caseworkers and/or sociotherapists in New York City‘s foster care and/or preventive agencies. Members are required to commit two years to their agency.
During these two years Children’s Corps provides:
• An immediate job in New York City with full salary and benefits
• Five weeks of intensive, real-life training before starting the job
• A personal and dedicated mentor
• On-going training and coaching for members
• A very close and supportive network of professionals, peers, and alumni
• A supportive place to accomplish your personal and professional goals.
*Members must complete the 5-week summer training program (in July) before being placed in our partner child welfare agencies.
The Children’s Corps approach strives to:
• Prepare its members to enter this field and meet the needs of children and families
• Fully support it’s members and their peers as they undertake this rewarding and challenging work
• Foster a community of leaders committed to advocating for and leading efforts to make fundamental changes to the child welfare system
Children’s Corps is now seeking applicants for 2013! Head to the info session on Thursday for more information about the program, and/or to ask any questions you have for a representative.
