<p>Workforce Development for People in Recovery VISTA</p> <p>The Schreiber Research Group (TSRG) is a Colorado-based nonprofit comprised of public health, public policy, nursing, data science, economics, and project management experts. TSRG is a research-driven organization working to find solutions and fill knowledge gaps in response to the substance use crisis. In 2023, TSRG performed a market analysis of resources in Southeastern Colorado for people in recovery from a substance use disorder (SUD) who are attempting to reenter the workforce. Through this investigation, the project team discovered the need for a workforce center that could synthesize these resources and provide one-on-one career counseling services. The AmeriCorps Member will serve an essential role in developing and implementing a program plan for this workforce center.

This may include identification of a physical location, resources needed, transportation for program participants, staffing needs, how to support people with a history of SUD/OUD and or/co-occurring mental health issues, and more. The AmeriCorps members will also participate in an investigation into the needs of potential program participants. This will require participation in investigative research that includes survey development, implementation, and analysis to prepare recommendations for the program plan. The AmeriCorps Member will receive support from the CEO/Researcher, Supervisor, and other team members in producing project deliverables. It is critical that the AmeriCorps Member demonstrates a strong ability to partner with the TSRG team, and to build and maintain strong relationships with our community partners.</p> <p>Program Benefits : Relocation Allowance , Health Coverage* , Childcare assistance if eligible , Education award upon successful completion of service , Training , Living Allowance .</p> <p>Terms :</p> <p>Car recommended , Permits working at another job during off hours , Permits attendance at school during off hours .</p> <p>Service Areas :</p> <p>Community Outreach , Housing , Veterans , Homelessness , Community and Economic Development , Health .</p> <p>Skills :</p> <p>Community Organization , Computers/Technology , Public Health , Writing/Editing , Team Work .</p>
