The Role
This is community-based service coordination. You connect members to care, help them stay in the community, and address the barriers — including criminogenic ones — standing between them and stability. You're not a clinician and not a corrections officer — you're the person who understands both worlds and works the space between them.

Who You Are
A paraprofessional with a bachelor's degree in a related field, or lived experience in recovery or past justice involvement. You understand the justice system and behavioral health, and you know how to help someone navigate both — assertively, and with trauma-informed care.

Our objectives are simple: to engage and ignite a desire to recover. Engage individuals by building relationships and trust from the earliest interactions, and utilizing motivational interviewing to assist in progressing to the next stage of change in their recovery. To connect individuals with community supports, and ignite their desire to find their own pathway to recovery.
At Ignite, our focus is the individual, not their history of substance use. This allows us to build relationships with individuals based on mutual respect, dignity, and empathy. We aim to work with individuals prior to treatment or recovery and walk alongside them, creating a pathway for them to begin seeking recovery. To work with them as long as necessary to find their own version of recovery and wellness.
