    Overview

    Overview of the Role


    The Unaccompanied Children Program provides long term and transitional residential care and other supportive services to Unaccompanied Children (UC) who are under legal custody of the Federal Government.

    Working in collaboration with the federal Office of Refugee Resettlement, ORR, our program provides a safe and nurturing environment for youth in a Basic Shelter program, and the Therapeutic Group Home programs located at our licensed residential facility in Yonkers, NY as well as a Transitional Foster Care program and the Long-Term Foster Care Program located in foster homes in the Bronx and Westchester.

    In all programs, we provide therapeutic and educational services and other supports that youth need to achieve success through an array of strength-based and targeted interventions as well as link them with family members and/or other sponsors in the United States so they can move forward with their lives and thrive.

    The main responsibility of the Porter is to maintain the cottages clean, sanitized and inspection ready.

    Rising Ground

    Founded as an orphanage in 1831, Rising Ground has been at the forefront of evolving community needs.

    Driven by the belief that each of us can thrive when life has hope and opportunity, Rising Ground provides caring support and proven paths to positive change, helping children, adults, and families rise above adversity, and each year, Rising Ground is a positive force in the lives of more than 25,000 individuals.

    We do this through 50 programs in 70 locations throughout New York City and Westchester.

    Our strong belief and commitment to diversity shows not just through our work with supported persons but is integral to the building of a strong staff that reflects the communities we serve.

    Benefits

    At Rising Ground, we encourage everyone to live a healthier life.

    When you enroll in health care benefits - medical, dental, and vision care, you and your family can take advantage of each plan's preventive services, which will help everyone to stay well.

    Another way to remain healthy is to eat right and keep active. Ultimately, we all benefit when we make the right choices, whether through diet and exercise or health care services.
