Description: 180 Degrees' youth shelters serve adolescents ages 12-19 who are seeking safety, stability, and support during critical moments in their lives. Youth may enter shelter through county placements, or because they are experiencing homelessness, running away from home, family conflict, exploitation, or safety concerns. Many youth have experienced trauma, instability, or disrupted relationships and come to us at a time when trust, consistency, and dignity matter deeply. The Mobile Case Manager (MCM) provides prevention-focused, community-based support that bridges shelter services and the broader community. This role ensures continuity of care for youth exiting shelter through structured aftercare services while maintaining a consistent outreach presence in spaces where youth naturally gather. As part of 180 Degrees' continuity-of-care model, the MCM supports youth across transitions and collaborates closely with shelter staff and other Mobile Case Managers across the organization to maintain alignment as youth move between programs and communities. While the position operates with a high level of independence in the field, it remains grounded in supervision, teamwork, and consistent connection to shelter operations. This position does not have direct reports. This position is 40 hours per week, onsite. Program Portfolio Rochester Youth Shelter (Southeast Region)
