Job Openings
Dear Colleague,
Attached please find descriptions for two exciting employment opportunities, our Dorothy Day Fellowship (pdf) and Social Services Coordinator with the Oakland Catholic Worker. Both positions offer the opportunity to support and advocate with and for immigrants during this very challenging time for them.
Located in the heart of East Oakland's immigrant community, the Oakland Catholic Worker works with migrant families who have fled violence and oppression in their home countries of Mexico, Central and South America. We provide them with transitional housing, comprehensive social service supports, and life-building opportunities to empower them to self-sufficiency in a new country and culture.
I would appreciate if you will distribute these opportunities among your students, alumni, faculty and staff. If you have further questions please contact me at this email, [email protected] or on my cell, 617-592-0416.
Thank you for your assistance with this.
Best,
Anne Carrabino, SSS
Executive Director
