  • Triage walk-in clients and connect them with appropriate services.

  • Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams and contribute to client care plans.

  • Maintain accurate, timely documentation in the electronic health record.


What You Bring:

  • Personal experience with homelessness, substance use, mental illness, HIV, or incarceration (required).

  • High school diploma or GED required; AA in Human Services preferred.

  • One year of experience helping individuals connect to essential services.

  • Knowledge of Baltimore City resources and a passion for harm reduction and housing-first approaches.

  • Strong interpersonal skills, emotional resilience, and the ability to work with clients who may be ill, disabled, or emotionally distressed.

  • Valid Maryland driver’s license and access to a personal vehicle (required).


Why Join Us?

  • Be part of a mission-driven team committed to racial equity, social justice, and community wellness.

  • Work in a dynamic, people-first organization that centers compassion, authenticity, and hope.

  • Receive training and support to grow in your advocacy and peer work.
