This is a temporary, part-time (up to 10 hours per week; flexible schedule) remote based position, where the incumbent will work from home.  The position is expected to last approximately 24 weeks beginning in January 2021.  No travel is required.

The pay rate for this position is $40-$50 per hour, depending on qualifications.

What You Will Be Doing

In this position, you will be collaborating with our team in the assessment of a child welfare system, assisting with plan development and intervention implementation, as well as providing culturally competent translation for documents and meetings. While you will work with a partner to create content for the various capacity-building services conducted on this project, you will be solely responsible for the delivery of these services (training, webinars, coaching, etc.) in Spanish. You may also be asked to perform other duties.

Who We Are Seeking

The successful candidate is determined—driven by a purpose to get results. Qualifications include:

• Master’s degree preferably in social work, public administration, or related field.
• At least five years of experience working in the child welfare system.
• Fluency in Spanish is a MUST (reading, writing, and speaking).
• Knowledge of Puerto Rican culture highly desired.

Because this position is a remote position, the successful candidate must also be a self-starter, and able to work independently.

Serious candidates should submit a cover letter.

Raise the Future is more than an equal opportunity organization. We are committed to diversity and building an inclusive environment for people of all backgrounds and ages. We are taking steps to meet that commitment in our employment practices, especially for members of traditionally underrepresented communities, including women, people of color, LGBTQ, and people who are differently abled.

Who We Are

At Raise the Future, we believe every young person goes through life knowing they have a caring adult by their side.  So, every day, we show up for kids in foster care by listening to their needs and introducing them to adults they can rely on. We then surround those connections with support so that they grow into meaningful, lasting relationships that help our youth heal from the past. Because to truly raise the future, we must raise the bar for what it means to support vulnerable youth and families as they navigate life.

Since our founding in 1983, Raise the Future has designed and implemented evidence-based, wraparound services that reduce the amount of time youth in foster care live without a permanent family. Our programs increase the likelihood of forming and sustaining positive connections that help to transform their futures.

In keep with our mission, Raise the Future is a partner of the AdoptUSKids collaboration, providing the project’s capacity-building and engagement for states, tribes, and territories.  AdoptUSKids is a national project working to increase awareness about the need for foster and adoptive families and support states, tribes and territories in their efforts to recruit, engage, develop and support foster, adoptive, and kinship families.
