Subject: DC Job Opportunity for Social Worker & Therapist
Hello!
My name is Cesar Toledo, and I lead the Wanda Alston Foundation, which houses and supports DC's homeless LGBTQ+ young people. Despite the challenging climate for queer service providers, we are growing and scaling our programming.
I'm reaching out to see if you could flag these two job postings as great opportunities for your recent graduates. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!

Additionally, the Director delivers trauma-informed, strength-based guidance to best support client-centered case management services, advocates for our youth’s mental health and wellness, and ensures data is correctly captured, monitored, and assessed. This position will require presence at and travel between the Foundation’s two DC facilities: Shaw & Congress Heights.
