  • Excellent communication, writing, and computer skills.
  • Excellent interpersonal skills, sound knowledge of supportive counseling skills, and the ability to form relationships with marginalized individuals.
  • Ability to structure time, develop work priorities independently, and meet program expectations with regard to documenting interactions.
  • Excellent independent problem-solving skills and demonstrated ability to intuitively approach challenging situations.
