POSITION TITLE : Part-Time Case Counselor

DEPARTMENT : Support Services

REPORTS TO : Lead Counselor

LOCATION : Pittsburg and Oakland, CA

COMPENSATION : $65,000 - $75,000 (based on experience, pro-rated for part-time)

Located in West Oakland, with a satellite campus in Pittsburg, CA, Civicorps is a dynamic non-

profit that includes two social enterprises. Civicorps' mission is to re-engage young adults, ages

18-26, to earn a high school diploma, gain job skills, pursue college, and embark on family

sustaining careers.

Youth at Civicorps have the ambition, talent, and perseverance to succeed; what they deserve

is personalized mentoring and support as they develop a plan to achieve their goals. Our

participants have experienced failures of multiple systems - the traditional school system, the

justice system, and the child welfare system. Against a larger Bay Area backdrop of accelerating

income inequality, neighborhood displacement, and food and housing insecurity, Civicorps'

programs and support services are more vital than ever.

Through our unique mix of personalized academics, paid job training, trauma-informed support

services, and pathways to college and careers, Civicorps helps youth overcome barriers,

cultivate their talents, and unleash their potential.
