Serving Immigrants Competitors

The City University of New York is the nation’s largest urban public university, a transformative engine of social mobility that is a critical component of the lifeblood of New York City. Founded in 1847 as the nation’s first free public institution of higher education, CUNY has seven community colleges, 11 senior colleges and seven graduate or professional institutions spread across New York City’s five boroughs, serving over 225,000 undergraduate and graduate students and awarding 50,000 degrees each year.

Catholic Charities USA (CCUSA) is the national membership office for Catholic Charities agencies nationwide, providing help and creating hope for millions of people a year, regardless of their religious, social, or economic background. #WeAreThere CCUSA only fills jobs that are listed on our Careers page (https://www.catholiccharitiesusa.org/about-us/careers/) and all career-related email communications will be conducted from a verified CCUSA email domain (@CatholicCharitiesUSA.org). CCUSA will never ask candidates to share personally sensitive information (Social Security number, bank accounts, etc.) during the interview process, and CCUSA will never request any payment from candidates in connection with a job application. CCUSA provides leadership and support for the work of local agencies in their efforts to reduce poverty, support families, and empower communities. The mission of Catholic Charities is to provide service to people in need, to advocate for justice in social structures, and to call the entire church and other people of good will to do the same.

RAICES, a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization formally known as the Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services, was created in 1986 to welcome and fight for families seeking safety and freedom in the U.S. We started as a two-person team in a tiny San Antonio office and kept growing to include Austin, Corpus Christi, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, and Laredo — and to make our services accessible to people in rural communities statewide. Today, with our Texas roots and national reach, we advocate for the rights and prosperity of all our families, neighbors, and community members. We grew from the Sanctuary Movement as a response to immigration policies that created impossible legal barriers for Central American refugees to seek protection in the U.S. In a time of exceptional need, our neighbors across the country came together and showed us what it means to be a more welcoming nation. Originally a grassroots community-based organization known as the Refugee Aid Project, RAICES was accredited by the Department of Justice (DOJ) as a legal services provider in 1993 — centering our advocacy for access to representation as critical to equitable outcomes in immigration court — and expanded further in 2017 to include refugee resettlement services in collaboration with our national partner, the U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants (USCRI). We believe in a country where everyone has access to legal and social services — no matter where you come from. A place where people don’t have to go to court to face a giant institution on their own. A place where people don’t have to navigate a maze of local, state, and federal bureaucracies created to keep them out — because we know that our services keep families together and free.
