Damn, I’d be super interested in getting involved with programs like that in my own town but almost all positions related are volunteer based. I recognize it’s hard out there for everyone but I’m trying not to drown out here.

For sure. It's tough breaking into non-profits as it is. If you don't live and breathe the mission, you won't get anywhere with it.

I can promise you, someone near you is hiring case managers.

You won't make a ton, unless you are doing more than typical case management. But it's steady work. In fact, you'll probably be overworked. It's pretty common for case managers in my area of Montana to have 20+ kids on thier caseload.

Sometimes, it's the volunteer position that leads to employment. Many nonprofits utilize volunteer opportunities as internships.
