Case Manager

Under the supervision of the Case Management Program Manager, the Case Manager will be responsible for providing ongoing engagement, assessment, intervention, and evaluation for the youth on their individual case load. This commonly includes youth intakes, assessments, crisis phone counseling, client data collection, documentation, file maintenance, and follow-up care. In addition, the Case Manager will assist with general upkeep of the case management program, including regular program shift coverage, milieu management, crisis intervention, reporting maintenance issues, and ensuring that the program is facilitated in a manner that meets Urban Peak’s mission.

Case Managers will work with youth ages 12-24 who are enrolled in Urban Peak’s programming who are experiencing homelessness. The acuity of clients varies, but many clients will have unique goals related to mental health, substance use, education, employment, and housing.

This position will ensure that interactions, interventions, and environments at Urban Peak are trauma informed and will emphasize the physical and emotional safety of youth and staff.

Founded in 1988, Urban Peak is the only non-profit organization in Denver that provides a full convergence of services for youth ages 12 through 24 experiencing homelessness or at imminent risk of becoming homeless. Our goal is to meet youth where they are and to provide them with the assistance and support, they need to become self-sufficient or obtain the necessary services they need to exit a life on the streets.

Urban Peak provides numerous programs and services that are founded on the principles of trauma-informed care and Positive Youth Development to assist youth in reaching their potential and living a successful life off the streets. Services include street outreach, a 136-bed shelter for youth ages 12 through 24, daytime drop-in services, supportive housing, education and employment services, case management, life skills courses, behavioral health evaluations, meals and more. The youth served at the shelter come from a variety of backgrounds, and we strive to be a safe community for all youth, regardless of race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, class, educational background, sexual orientation, gender identity, or ability status.
