About this opportunity
Opportunity Overview
The International Rescue Committee is hiring a Resettlement Case Management Intern for the fall of 2026. This intern will support the resettlement team in daily tasks that help welcome and promote the self-sufficiency of refugees, asylees, and other humanitarian immigrants in the Baltimore metropolitan area. The intern will work directly with individual clients and families to deliver resettlement services. The International Rescue Committee responds to the world's worst humanitarian crises, and this internship is an opportunity to be part of a team that restores health, safety, education, economic wellbeing, and power to people devastated by conflict and disaster. The internship will be hybrid, including a combination of standard office environment, remote work, and field time within the greater Baltimore area. The intern will be issued an IRC laptop for the duration of the internship to perform both remote and in-office responsibilities. The International Rescue Committee is one of the world's largest international humanitarian non-governmental organizations, at work in more than 40 countries and 29 U.S. cities. The intern will learn about the services that refugees, asylees, and other humanitarian immigrants are eligible for upon arrival in the U.S., including public benefits in Maryland and local resources in the Baltimore metropolitan area. They will also learn about strategies for effective, holistic case management and develop resourcefulness and problem-solving skills to work independently in different situational contexts.
