The Welcome Team
Almost every day, ICE releases folx from the ICE GEO immigrant detention center in Aurora, Colorado.
Oftentimes they’re far from home, family, friends, sponsors.Most Casa guests welcomed into our home have one goal in mind: get to their final destination.
The Casa de Paz Welcome Team is there from the minute someone is released from ICE to the minute they get on a bus or board their plane to get home to their support system here in the US.
We offer a variety of in-person and remote roles. With morning, afternoon, and evening shifts, 365 days a year (sometimes even 366), 24 hours a day.
We are “open” 24/7... so please join our team at the right time for you!
