    Organization Overview:

    The Fortune Society, Inc. (Fortune) has been working for over 54 years in service to our mission: to support successful reentry from incarceration and promote alternatives to incarceration, thus strengthening the fabric of our communities. The organization has evolved into one of the nation's preeminent reentry and justice-informed service organizations, providing formerly-incarcerated people with the skills and wrap-around services needed to break the cycle of crime and incarceration and to build productive lives in their communities.

    Fortune has grown steadily over the years to an agency just under $60 million in annual budget with just under 600 staff. We anticipate that we will keep growing, both in size and in depth of service. Fortune has a dual mission: both advocacy and service. The advocacy portion of our mission focuses on building a more just criminal legal system and reducing the barriers to reentry into society. The service side of Fortune has evolved to encompass a broad range of programs that started with employment and education and now includes a robust array of services, among them: alternatives to incarceration, supervised release, court advocacy, discharge planning within correctional facilities, licensed substance use and mental health treatment, a housing continuum ranging from emergency and transitional through permanent congregate and scattered site housing, assistance in obtaining benefits, a care management unit, HIV services, a food and nutrition program, and an arts program. Each service we provide is informed by the needs of the population we serve. Fortune currently serves approximately 11,000 people a year. Our client population mirrors the incarcerated population in being approximately 85% male and over 90% people of color. Our program models are recognized, both nationally and internationally, for their quality and innovation.

    Position Summary

    Under the direction of Fortune, the Community Navigation Manager is responsible for the daily oversight and management of the Atlas Workforce outreach component, including the ongoing supervision of Community Navigators, informing strategies related to Workforce Pilot participants across the Initiative, and holding the team accountable for outcomes. The Community Navigation Manager works to gain the trust of the community and the highest-risk individuals provide linkages and robust accompaniment to prosocial alternatives, including activities, jobs, education, case management, and social services. As a member of a team, the Manager is responsible for supporting his/her staff as they focus on engaging the highest-risk individuals in the community.

    Managers support their staff to ensure that outreach workers engage directly with identified and referred participants who have experienced high levels of trauma, are likely to be victims or perpetrators of violence, and, more importantly.

    The position requires strong understanding of the drivers of violence in the service community, including the histories, dynamics, and conflicts of individuals and groups.
