  • Administer brief surveys and outcome measures to track progress and program effectiveness
  • Document services, track data, and maintain accurate records using our CRM system
  • Participate in team meetings, training, and supervision to continuously improve your skills
  • Collaborate with community partners, service providers, and other organizations to build a network of support
  • Required Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree (Master's degree preferred but not required)
  • Experience working with or deep understanding of priority populations: transitional age youth, individuals experiencing homelessness, older adults, or other underserved communities
  • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills with ability to build trust and rapport
