Catholic Relief Services (CRS) has been operational in Haiti since 1954, implementing a variety of programs ranging from emergency response to sustainable development depending on particular needs and dynamics within the country. CRS’ current portfolio focuses on urban development, agricultural production and value-chains, quality education, health, and Disaster-Risk Reduction. CRS has been working in the North East Department of Haiti to address issues related to child trafficking, livelihoods for vulnerable households, and education for all. CRS is now engaging in program specifically targeting Child Labor and Workers’ Rights in the North, North East and border areas, using a cross-sectorial approach to reduce child labor utilizing educational, livelihoods, governmental policy, law enforcement, and social compliance interventions.


The Workers Rights Center Coordinator (WRC Coordinator) will be responsible for starting-up and coordinating the provision of legal, educational, livelihoods, and awareness-raising services to thousands of households and children through 4-8 Workers Rights Centers (WRCs) located in targeted areas of the project. WRCs may take different forms: 1) a physical drop in center housed within a local NGO/CBO that will be a one stop shop for project services, or 2) A virtual center or coordination body led by a coordinator that coordinates service delivery among a variety of local organizations. The type of WRC in each targeted community will be determined based on local dynamics and resources. The WRC Coordinator will lead the identification and selection process of WRCs, will oversee necessary capacity building, and work toward sustainability of services.
