I am with Casa
de Esperanza, a non-profit in Houston, Texas. Casa de Esperanza provides
residential care to children birth through six years old who are in crisis due
to abuse, neglect, or the effects of HIV. Care is provided in our
residential neighborhood by our Hands of Hope House Parents. Our House
Parents, most of whom are recent college graduates, join us for a year of
service- a twelve-month full-time post-graduation service year.
Applicants wishing to complete shorter service are considered on a case by case
basis. We provide on-site housing (House Parents live with the children
they are caring for) and House Parents join us from all over the United States
to be part of our internship program.
Information
about our internship may be found here:

The application
for our internship may be found here:
https://www.casahope.org/application-part-one
We are currently
accepting applications for our winter, spring, and summer 2021 start dates and
applicants may indicate their desired start date on their application. We
accept and process applications on a rolling basis.
I am writing
with the hope that you may be able to share information about this opportunity
with students who may be interested in pursuing a service year with our agency
after graduation. Our program especially appeals to students who
wish to complete a gap year before entering medical or graduate school. I
am also attaching our flyer which I hope that you may be able to share as well.
House Parents in
our program gain valuable experience that is relevant to a number of fields and
future career goals while simultaneously making a meaningful difference in the
lives of a vulnerable group of children.
Thank you and
please let me know if you should need more information.
