  • Guide clients through the application process for public benefits, including Medicaid, food assistance, cash aid, and childcare subsidies.
  • Offer job readiness assistance, including resume development, job search support, and connections to job training initiatives.
  • Support clients in accessing educational resources, such as ESL classes, GED programs, and higher education opportunities.
  • Connect clients with essential services, including legal aid, healthcare, mental health support, and educational programs.
  • Prepare applications for educational and financial assistance grants on behalf of clients.
  • Advocate for clients with service providers, government entities, and other organizations to ensure they receive the necessary support.
  • Collaborate with the Senior Supervising Clinician and/or ATI Director to fulfill grant reporting and compliance obligations for funders of the Anti-Trafficking Initiative.
  • Maintain and update electronic client records in Salesforce promptly, while providing additional administrative support as needed.
  • Perform other department-related duties or special projects as assigned by the ATI Senior Supervising Clinician and/or the Director of the Anti-Trafficking Initiative.
