Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Dubuque is seeking two full-time Jail & Prison Ministry Coordinators, one based in Dubuque and one in Waterloo. The Bureau of Justice reports that 67.8% of ex-convicts reoffend and return to prison within 3 years of their release. The mission of our Jail & Prison Reentry services is to reduce recidivism utilizing principles of restorative (as opposed to retributive) justice, and develop strong systems of support by building community relationships and matching formerly incarcerated individuals with volunteer mentors, as they work toward positive reentry into family and community life. Coordinators guide volunteers as they provide 1: 1 and group mentoring utilizing case management principles to help individuals succeed in various areas of their life including housing, employment, transportation, etc. Prefer knowledge of social work, case management principles, and working with volunteers. We offer a full range of benefits including generous paid time off.
