Casa de Paz - Community Outreach
Internship
Job Description
October 2013 -
December 2013
Thank
you for your interest in working for Casa de Paz! Casa de Paz is a place of refuge and comfort
for the loved ones of people detained in the ICE Processing Center in
Aurora. We host families and individuals
who have often driven several hours to say visit to a loved one being deported
or detained. Our hope is that in the midst
of their grief, they can have some comfort and find a place offering them love,
support, and hope.
Additionally,
we work hard to educate the public about issues surrounding immigration and the
reform that we see as necessary for our country and community. We hope to inspire people to take action
against the injustices that exist for people living and working in this country
without legal status.
If
selected for this internship, you will be part of an exciting movement to
change the way our community and government views and handles this issue, while
impacting the lives of thousands of families who are in constant fear of being
torn apart. You will gain valuable
skills that will help you in your future career and have a chance to meet
inspiring community leaders.
We
wish you the best of luck in this application process and hope to see you soon!
