Deliver Know Your Rights workshops and other educational programming across Win shelter sites.

Translate and interpret immigration-related documents and communications for Spanish-speaking clients and families.

Collaborate with internal programs and community organizations to connect clients with housing, education, employment, income-building, and other stabilization opportunities.

Maintain accurate case records and documentation, build relationships with community partners, and participate in trainings, meetings, and professional development activities.

WHO YOU WILL BE

You will hold a bachelor’s degree in social work, Human Services, or a related field with two years of relevant experience or possess five years of related professional experience.
