Tutoring nights are Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday in both locations. If your company needs an office worker, stock clerk, warehouse helper, restaurant worker, recreational worker, computer assistant, or the like, and you would like to help a kid gain valuable work experience, please contact us. In many cases, JCCA pays a stipend to help cover the wages earned in order to provide job opportunities that otherwise would not be available. The jobs help youngsters learn valuable skills, contribute to the community, and develop self-esteem. These inquiry meetings are held every Wednesday in our Bronx and Brooklyn offices.
Participants learn about the special needs of foster children and the realities of foster care work.
Attendees receive an information packet including an application. They can make an appointment with a recruiter for a home visit at that time, or they may call JCCA later if they need more time to make a decision. Applicants are told immediately if their homes are eligible. In addition, the recruiter picks up the completed application, household budget, and child abuse clearance forms. Next, the applicants meet a Senior Social Worker to determine if the family understands the realities of foster care and is capable of providing resources and support to a foster child.
