Facility Manager
Global Family Care Network, Inc.
Daughter Project Girls Home (DPGH)

Organization
Global Family Care Network is a non-profit organization operating in the United States, Canada, El Salvador, France, India, Myanmar, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Thailand. Founded in 2007, we aim to protect children and preserve families around the world by providing alternative, family-based care for children who are abandoned, abused, and exploited.

Daughter Project Girls Home (DPGH) is a branch of Global Family that provides crisis and intervention care for individuals who are identified as commercially sexually exploited children (CSEC), homeless, runaways, or otherwise in need of short-term shelter and care. The shelter home provides specialized services that meet the complex needs of CSEC as well as a safe environment conducive to healing from any trauma.

DPGH is a Short-Term Residential Therapeutic Program (STRTP) which means it is an intensive-care living facility for adolescent females who have high emotional and mental health needs. We are a facility which focuses on recovery for females who have experienced (or are at high risk of experiencing) Child Sexual Exploitation. Staff engage in trauma-informed care practices, including positive reinforcement and client-centered problem solving. Facility guidelines are set by both state and county agencies, and the ability to balance attention to both administrative detail and caring for the girls is essential to the work. Staff must be prepared to de-escalate stressful situations and respond to situations with appropriate procedures.

Successful candidates need to possess a valid CA driving license, along with providing a current dmv record report, and must undergo an extensive criminal background check by the State of California, Department of Social Services (CDSS) prior to hire. Candidates who are not already listed in the state background clearance system will need to submit for this clearance at their own expense (currently costing around $120) with reimbursement for background check fees issued by DPGH after 30 days of gainful employment.
