ACRS & Self Sufficiency Aide

26-27 ACRS Employment & Self Sufficiency Aide

This is an Ameri Corps/Washington Service Corps national service position. Asian Counseling and Referral Service is a nationally recognized nonprofit organization. We offer a broad array of human services. Employment services are critical for our community. Over 200,000 adults in King County do not speak English well or rly a quarter of all low-wage earners are immigrants or refugees. AAPIs represent a diverse range of languages, cultures, and socio-economic backgrounds.

Their needs vary and require a multi-lingual, multi-cultural approach. Some job seekers arrive in the U.S. with nontraditional work history, such as farming or fishing. Others may have foreign professional credentials which do not easily transfer here. Some clients are entering the workforce for the first time or may have lived in refugee camps. Our programs promote economic self-sufficiency through skills training, placement, and retention services.

The goal is to help people find long-term employment that pay living wages and offer advancement opportunities. The member will support our clients in group and individual settings, collaborate with staff, and track the impact of our program. Proficiency in English and Vietnamese or Chinese is valued. We expect to begin rolling review of applications and interviews in late April.

Monthly stipend amount: $3,157. Further help on this page can be found by clicking here.
