About the Program and Position:

Our Home Study and Post Release Services (HS/PRS) program is dedicated to making a significant impact on the lives of unaccompanied children aged 0-17 ½.

As an Administrative Assistant, you will ensure smooth departmental operations and logistics and strong communication with the families and children in the program.

The Administrative Assistant is the first point of contact for the agency and is expected to host a welcoming environment, properly greet others, and introduce themselves in person or on the phone.
