About The Position

Atlas works to prevent violence by meeting people during a crisis, like a recent arrest or open court case, and connecting them to a change process that nurtures hope and strengthens relationships.

This high-quality, strength-focused family counseling model is designed for high-risk youth and young adults who have been referred by the criminal court, juvenile justice, mental health, school, or child welfare systems. Services are short-term and typically delivered in the home, though they can also be provided in the office or other community settings. We are seeking to hire a Data and Administrative Specialist.

Specific responsibilities include conducting screenings with participants, ensuring referrals meet participation criteria, facilitating participant releases, handling other processes, and troubleshooting any issues that arise. In addition, the Data and Administrative Specialist must establish close connections with other departments, criminal justice agencies, and community organizations.
