Refugee Resettlement in America

Scott Kerr is a member of the new Baltimore Sunset Rotary Club to be chasrtered next month.

Scott Kerr is the Reception and Placement  (R&P) Compliance Manager at World Relief assisting with oversight of World Relief's refugee resettlement program, throughout the United States. Scott began serving refugees directly by securing employment and providing case management in World Relief's High Point Office in 2000. After 6 years, he was promoted and was transferred to the Baltimore corporate office. Scott began to travel throughout the US monitoring offices for compliance with the State Department’s program requirements. Scott’s responsibilities increased as he moved into management, overseeing two positions. More recently he has developed standardized training and visited offices for specific training interventions. Scott also guest lectures at Towson University in globalization classes speaking on refugee topics annually, and served as a co-facilitator of the recent Cultural Orientation Resource Exchange (CORE) workshop in Seattle. He is also looking forward to the International Summer School for Forced Migration at Oxford University this summer. Scott holds a B.A. in Organizational Leadership from Eastern University. On a more personal note, Scott, an Eagle Scout, is an avid lover of the outdoors and has volunteered to document butterfly migration in Mt. Rainier National Park; he recently received an honorable mention at cider craft brewing competition “Apples to Apples”; and he can be found hanging out with his wife, Sarah Kerr, and birdwatching with his cat, Orson. 

World Relief stands with the vulnerable and partners with local churches to end the cycle of suffering, transform lives and build sustainable communities.  With initiatives that focus on disaster response, health and child development, refugee and immigration services, economic development and peacebuilding, we work holistically with the local church to stand for the sick, the widowed, the orphaned, the alienated, the displaced, the devastated, the marginalized and the disenfranchised.

Our expertise gained in over 70 years of aid and development work gives us the ability to not only meet the immediate needs of the vulnerable, but implement programs that lead to sustainable growth and development, transforming once vulnerable regions into thriving communities.
