POSITION TITLE : Case Counselor
DEPARTMENT : Support Services
REPORTS TO : Lead Counselor
LOCATION : Oakland, CA
COMPENSATION : $65,000 - $75,000 (based on experience)
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.
