Responsibilities include coordinating linkages and referrals to community providers for employment opportunities, education/training, housing, transportation, treatment services, mentoring and other comprehensive supports and services.
You are someone who has existing or can build relationships with the community and can leverage those contacts to support the program as you work directly with transitioning clients and local service providers to develop a plan for reintegration from incarceration into the Erie community.

As someone who loves your job, you happily attend and participate in all trainings and program activities.
