Data Advocate - 1st Shift, Full Time
At it's core, our organization is data-driven. Because our funding comes from federal, state and local grants, we are required to report statistical data about the individuals we serve on a continual basis, and we also utilize those same stats in applying for new funding opportunities. Our Data Advocates are responsible for reviewing all materials and documentation related to crisis calls, services rendered to clients and client-advocate interactions and tracking related stats. While they don't provide direct services to clients, they're often exposed to similar vicarious trauma as our direct service providers.
