The Spokane Municipal Community Court (SMCC) is seeking volunteers for a new case management program. The program is currently still in development and growing day-by-day. With your help, the case management program will allow clients to receive more individualized access to services provided through SMCC. While clients are guided by SMCC staff and service providers throughout their time at court, having case managers building connections with clients on a one-on-one basis will increase the likelihood of clients remaining on track to accomplish their goals. Through this program we hope to increase day-to-day communication with clients, offer consistent individualized guidance and encouragement, and grow our community partnership and outreach capacity. Each of the aforementioned factors (and more) contribute to clients’ experience with SMCC and we hope that you will consider joining us as the case management program grows and evolves!
We are currently looking to fill the following roles:
- Courtroom Navigator: Guide participants as they enter the courtroom and direct them to intake, SMCC Staff, Services etc. as necessary.
- Case Navigator: Connect with participants at court and help them navigate services and resources at court/throughout the week as needed.
- Digital Coordinator: Help ensure court files/website are up to date, work with Community Engagement Liaison on community outreach, take Minutes for weekly Staffing meeting, communicate with SMCC Staff/Volunteer team as needed.
- Community Engagement Liaison: Work with the SMCC Coordinator to maintain connections with partnering organizations in the community, manage outreach and public facing communications (i.e. fliers, social media, etc.). Communicate updates and changes to partnerships with the SMCC Staff/Volunteer Team as needed.
- Recruitment Liaison: Help maintain and recruit new volunteers for the case management program.
*We are hoping that volunteers will be able to begin serving by mid-June to early July pending COVID-19 safety regulations/guidelines. We thank you for your patience as the situation continues to shift day-to-day.
If you are interested in joining the case management volunteer program we would love for you to fill out this interest form to let us learn more about you, and we will be in touch with you soon!
