Did you know that working for a local government provides credit towards the Public Student Loan Forgiveness Program (PSLF)?
 
Real Talk 
We’ll be honest—this is intense. You may have contact with hostile families and children and home visits may be in less than adequate living conditions. Your emotions will range from the fear of what will happen on your very first home visit to profound sadness for severely traumatized or injured children. You will support staff removing a child who doesn’t understand he’s in danger and may not want to leave. It’s a stressful job with critical outcomes. You must be flexible while prioritizing your daily activities. No day is the same. But you have the power to create positive change and have a direct impact on the life of a child and their family that lasts a lifetime. If you are committed to making a real difference in the lives of others, we want you on our team.
