    Description

    The volunteer clinician will support P.E.P. INC.'s community-based programs by providing clinical assessments, screening, consultation, referrals, and supportive services to individuals and families in need.

    This position will serve the general community, with particular emphasis on individuals experiencing or at risk of homelessness and individuals who are justice impacted, including those transitioning back into the community.

    Key Responsibilities

    Conduct appropriate clinical or behavioral-health assessments within the volunteer's scope of practice.

    Assist with identifying behavioral-health, social, housing, and supportive-service needs.

    Provide brief supportive interventions, education, and resource navigation as appropriate.

    Make appropriate referrals to mental-health, substance-use, medical, housing, and social-service providers.

    Collaborate with Community Health Workers, Peer Support Specialists, case managers, and community partners.

    Participate in multidisciplinary service planning and case consultation.

    Support community outreach and engagement activities when appropriate.

    Maintain appropriate professional, ethical, confidentiality, and documentation standards.

    Ideal Volunteer

    We welcome licensed or appropriately credentialed clinicians with experience in one or more of the following:

    Mental and behavioral health

    Social work

    Psychology

    Counseling

    Substance-use services

    Community health

    Homeless services

    Reentry or justice-impacted populations

    Trauma-informed care

    Community-based or integrated care

    Experience working with people experiencing homelessness or individuals returning to the community after incarceration is strongly preferred, but we also welcome clinicians who are motivated to serve these populations.

    Why Volunteer With P.E.P. INC.?

    This is an opportunity to use your professional experience directly in the community and help individuals overcome barriers to health, housing, stability, and self-sufficiency.

    Volunteers will work alongside a community-focused organization and a multidisciplinary team committed to fighting homelessness, strengthening families, and supporting successful community reintegration for justice-impacted individuals.

    If you are a clinician who wants to make a meaningful difference beyond the traditional clinical setting, we would like to hear from you.
