World Relief is Hiring a Private Sponsorship Program Specialist Near Baltimore, MD

ORGANIZATION SUMMARY:

World Relief is a global Christian humanitarian organization that is fighting for change that lasts, right here in the U.S. and across the globe. We bring sustainable solutions to the world’s greatest problems – disasters, extreme poverty, violence, oppression, and mass displacement. The organization is approximately 75 years old and has worked in over 100 countries around the world since its founding.

In the United States, we come alongside local churches, community organizations and hundreds of individual volunteers to support newly arriving refugee and other immigrant families. Today, we are proud to partner with over 6,000 local churches, and 95,000 volunteers globally to bring hope, healing and transformation to the most vulnerable.

POSITION SUMMARY:

Are you a person of compassion? An advocate for justice? Someone who stands up for the rights of the vulnerable and speaks out for the marginalized, the exploited and the forgotten? Do you believe in our calling as Christians to welcome the least of these and love our neighbor?

If you answered ‘yes’, to any of the above, World Relief, and millions of people around the world need you.

World Relief is seeking a national Private Sponsorship Program Specialist who will oversee efforts to empower churches to welcome and support refugees coming through U.S. Private Sponsorship programs. Because Private Sponsorship is a new path of U.S. resettlement for those who have been displaced, this position is ideal for someone who is agile, innovative, collaborative, and ready to hit the ground running. World Relief has been empowering groups to walk alongside newcomers through our Good Neighbor Team (GNT) program for decades and will now be applying this model to private sponsorship. The Private Sponsorship Program Specialist will work in collaborating with multiple departments, field offices, and other national agencies to continue the buildout, maintenance, and growth of the Private Sponsorship Program. This position will oversee the development of needed processes and resources, continue the development of the Private Sponsor version of World Relief’s Good Neighbor Team ministry model, and will serve as a liaison with national private sponsorship programs such as Welcome Corps.
