About

• Description
• About the Organization

• Canal Alliance exists to break the generational cycle of poverty for Latino immigrants and their families by lifting barriers to their success.

• Canal Alliance is a nonprofit champion of immigrants who are challenged by a lack of resources and an unfamiliar environment. Every day, we educate, empower, support, and partner with motivated immigrants to best meet all their unique needs—from putting food on the table, to becoming American citizens, to learning English, to graduating from college.

• Canal Alliance strives for a trauma-informed collaborative and inclusive culture. We invest in high quality services, professional development, and work-life balance.

• Position Summary

• Canal Alliance seeks a compassionate and responsive Bilingual (Spanish) Youth Case Manager to support unaccompanied immigrant youth through our Rapid Response Program. This role is fast-paced, hands-on, and focused on addressing urgent, youth-identified needs such as safety concerns, school enrollment issues, immigration support, basic needs, and crisis stabilization.

• The ideal candidate builds trust quickly, stays calm in emergent situations, and works collaboratively with schools, CBOs, caregivers, and internal teams. Experience with CalAIM ECM and Community Supports is highly valued, as this position may will braid CalAIM funding with Rapid Response services to expand support for youth. The Youth Case Manager will report directly to the Intake and Case Management Supervisor.
