CAMBA, a non-profit community based organization in the Flatbush section
of Brooklyn, is seeking a Case Manager for the Refugee Resettlement
Program. CAMBA is a rapidly expanding, continually evolving organization
that encourages staff development and is dedicated to promoting from
within. We are hierarchical but not bureaucratic, large in size but

as a way of measuring our own success and accountability. This position
requires an individual who is dedicated, client-focused, culturally
competent and ready to meet the challenges of service delivery in
Brooklyn. CAMBA requires that all its employees be high energy,
empathetic, flexible, willing and hard-working team players.

(including counseling, advocacy and referrals to relevant health,
social, education, and employment-related services) for refugees who
come to New York to reunite with their families through the US
Government's Refugee Program. CAMBA's Matching Grant Program is an early
employment program for highly motivated newly arriving refugees and
asylees, providing a cash grant for three months, equal or greater than
a Public Assistant cash grant, as an incentive for becoming employed and
avoiding public assistance. Participants receive intensive case
management, job placement and English language training.
