Duties Description The Immigrant Community Specialist 3 will function as a staff manager overseeing and monitoring the funds for a major statewide initiative that will affect thousands of immigrants in a highly visible and sensitive program.

The newly established Office for New Americans oversees State and Federal (Community Service Block Grant [CSBG]) funds for community-based organizations to use as they expand English-for-Speakers-of-Other-Languages, naturalization, and entrepreneurship opportunities; works on selected areas of concern to New Americans, such as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, coordinates and re-focuses sister agency operations and policies to better assist immigrants in the State, especially in the area of consumer, wage, and tenant protection; and works with in-house Department of State public relations staff to develop a outreach campaign to ensure that newcomers to the State are aware of their rights and of opportunities.
