About HeartShare
For over 100 years, HeartShare has dedicated itself to improving the lives of people needing special services and support. The HeartShare team, now 2,100 employees and growing, helps individuals develop to their fullest potential and lead meaningful and enriched lives.
HeartShare St. Vincent’s Services (HSVS) Nuevo Camino program is dedicated to providing 38 unaccompanied minors, ages 5-12, with a supportive, nurturing environment through transitional foster homes, daily education Monday - Friday, and supportive wrap-around services in the East Brooklyn section of New York City. Our program is rooted in ensuring that service delivery is trauma informed, culturally appropriate, and tailored to the needs of each child while maintaining all program requirements of ORR.
The Nuevo Camino Recruiter is primarily responsible for recruiting, training, and licensing foster homes intended to work with Unaccompanied Children in Transitional Foster Care (TFC). This individual will also be responsible for coordinating TFC foster care placements, while also overseeing foster care parent orientation and training, retention and advocacy, and become involved in community foster parent coalitions, or relevant groups which promote sustainability in TFC placements.
