The Social Services team works directly with those we serve, helping them overcome barriers to stability, providing personal assistance with food, clothing, rent, utilities, furniture, and transportation. As a team, you will work to provide help to those seeking assistance, through home visits and one-on-one in-office meetings. You will also have the opportunity to be involved in other projects, such as overseeing one of our client-support programs which provide transportation or furniture assistance; the Sweet Cheeks diaper program; facilitating financial literacy trainings; or working with programs designed to build and enhance community.
