Job description

Who We Are: CAMBA is a community of staff, volunteers, clients, donors, neighbors and partners who work together to build an inclusive New York City, where all children and adults have access to the resources and supports they need to thrive. We take a comprehensive approach by offering more than 180 integrated programs in Education & Youth Development, Family Support, Job Training & Employment Support Services, Health, Housing, and Legal Services. We reach more than 72,000 individuals and families each year at our 100 locations, including 10,000 youth. CAMBA serves a diverse cross section of New Yorkers from new mothers in Brownsville to job seekers in the Rockaways. More than half of our clients are immigrants and refugees from around the globe. Over 85% of our families live in poverty, reflecting the challenges faced by nearly 1.7 million New Yorkers today.

The Cornerstone Case Management Expansion consists of a case‑management approach, which incorporates a Social Worker, a Navigator, and the development of Peer Support Leaders into the Van Dyke Cornerstone Community Center. The Social Worker and Navigator will create connections to other City agencies and providers and act as “expediters” for resources such as health, mental health, employment training, housing, food, etc., to help young adult participants (ages 18‑21) with issues identified in their Individual Service Plans.
