Original job description

About Jericho Project Jericho Project is a nationally recognized nonprofit that has been working to end homelessness at its roots since 1983. What began as a Manhattan soup kitchen has grown into a citywide organization serving nearly 3,000 New Yorkers each year - including over 700 veterans, as well as young adults and families, many of whom identify as LGBTQ+.

Jericho provides more than 600 units of supportive housing through seven permanent residences in the Bronx and Harlem, along with scattered-site apartments throughout New York City. Our housing-first model is paired with wraparound services delivered by skilled case managers, licensed mental health clinicians, and workforce development specialists. Together, these services support our four pillars of stability: housing, employment, wellness, and family.

In 2024, Jericho facilitated over 570 housing placements, helped secure nearly 275 job placements, and delivered over 750 therapy sessions through our in-house Jericho Therapy Program. As we move toward expanding our reach by an additional 2,000 units of housing, we remain committed to helping individuals and families build lasting independence and well-being - one person, one home, and one community at a time.

About the Position Career Counselor will provide workforce development services to Young Adults who enroll in Jericho’s programs in order to help them achieve the highest possible level of employment, educational attainment, or other meaningful activity, e.g., paid internship. The Career Counselor will work closely with the workforce development team as well as the site director and the case management staff to ensure that participant’s employment and educational goals are fully met.
