We're seeking a motivated and compassionate Community Programs Advocate to provide vital support and advocacy for youth, adults, and seniors.
As a Community Programs Advocate, you'll play a vital role in helping individuals access essential resources, enroll in life-improving services, and achieve their personal goals. This role goes beyond case management-you're a connector, educator, and advocate.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Conduct client outreach, needs assessments, enrollment, and follow-up
  • Deliver direct services including benefit application assistance and referrals
  • Plan and lead classes, workshops, and one-on-one support sessions
  • Monitor participant attendance, progress, and evaluation outcomes
  • Support the VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance) program
  • Track services and maintain accurate digital and physical client records
  • Create and implement lesson plans tailored to client needs
  • Collect feedback and data to improve programs and report on outcomes
  • Represent the agency at community events and collaborate with partners
  • Assist with planning and executing agency-wide initiatives and outreach efforts

Qualifications:
  • High School Diploma
  • 3 years of experience in social or community services (or equivalent)
  • Proficiency with computers, smart boards, databases, email, and internet use
  • Strong lesson planning, instructional, and administrative skills
  • Knowledge of community resources and the needs of low-income populations
  • Ability to work flexible hours, including evenings and weekends when necessary
  • Bilingual English/Spanish preferred

At HOPES CAP, Inc., we value our team and provide a benefits package designed to support your success and well-being:
  • Comprehensive health benefits package (Medical, Dental & Vision) and employee wellness
  • $2000 sign-on incentive paid in four quarterly installments after completing a 90-day introductory period
  • 403(b) retirement plan with employer match of 50% of employee per pay period contribution up to 6% of the employee's salary in a benefit year
  • Life insurance 100% paid by HOPES
  • Paid Time Off (PTO) and Company Paid Holidays
