Program Coordinator, Men’s Residential Treatment

Minnesota Adult & Teen Challenge (MnTC) Location: Minneapolis, MN | Schedule: Monday-Friday Pay: $20-22/hour

Help lead a program where men rebuild their lives

At MnTC, recovery happens in a community built on structure, accountability, and respect. As Program Coordinator for our men’s residential treatment program, you’ll be the steady hand that keeps daily operations running, leading shifts, supporting clients, and making sure every man in our care has a safe, recovery-focused place to grow. If you’re an experienced leader who stays calm under pressure and believes in treating people with dignity, we’d love to meet you.

What you’ll do

Lead the day-to-day program. Partner with the Program Manager to run daily operations. Build the staff schedule, arrange coverage, and lead shifts by coaching recovery coaches so supervision, tasks, and documentation are done well and on time. You’ll also coordinate interns and volunteers.

Support clients. Guide clients toward their treatment goals, apply program expectations fairly and consistently, and help create an environment where accountability and care go hand in hand.

Keep the program safe. Respond to emergencies, crises, and behavioral concerns according to MnTC procedures. Follow search and property protocols to keep contraband out, and make sure medications are stored and handled properly.

Manage admissions and transitions. Assist with admissions, orientation, and discharges, and secure and document property left by discharged clients. Help graduating clients find resources for jobs and housing, and coordinate transportation to interviews and appointments.

Oversee facilities and resources. Conduct daily room inspections and weekly facility inspections, keep rooms and bedding stocked, manage the Blessing Room clothing inventory, and maintain recreation equipment.

Handle client accounts. Oversee deposits and withdrawals from client accounts, working with Accounting and keeping careful receipts for every transaction.

Keep things in compliance. Monitor adherence to MnTC policy, client rights, and Minnesota licensing requirements, and keep documentation accurate and current.
