Rocky Mountain Immigrant Advocacy Network (RMIAN) provides free immigration legal services and social services to individuals in immigration detention and to children and their families throughout Colorado. RMIAN believes that justice for immigrants means justice for all.
Through the Social Service Project, RMIAN is one of few immigration legal services organizations in the country to offer integrated social service support. Founded and staffed by masters-level social workers, the Social Service Project assists particularly vulnerable detained adult immigrants, including people determined by the immigration court to be mentally incompetent to represent themselves; unaccompanied immigrant youth recently released from the custody of the Office of Refugee and Resettlement; and other youth and families who would benefit from expert guidance in navigating challenging new social structures.
RMIAN’s social workers provide wrap-around support, including help dealing with the stress of detention, healthcare advocacy, support with aspects of legal case preparation, and planning for needed services upon clients’ release from detention. For non-detained youth and their family members, social workers provide therapeutic support, connection to mental health treatment, medical care, public benefits, and other assistance, as well as ongoing support throughout clients’ legal cases.
In addition to direct client services, RMIAN’s social workers collaborate with local and national partners to educate legal and social service providers, and advocate for positive systemic change for immigrant members of our community.
Position Overview
We are seeking the right person to lead the next chapter of the Social Service Project’s vital services during a period of transition , and to manage and support a strong team of three masters-level social workers. The Director of Social Work will direct program strategy; supervise members of the team; oversee day-to-day operations, including grant management, evaluation and reporting; liaise with community partners and funders; carry a very limited caseload; and participate on RMIAN’s Leadership Team to carry out the organization’s mission and strategic priorities.
Ideal Candidate Profile
RMIAN is seeking candidates who possess a majority of the following qualities and experiences:
Interdisciplinary social work experience: To be successful within a primarily legal services setting, the ideal candidate loves working across disciplines, and has direct social work experience with diverse populations, such as people experiencing stress and instability because of housing instability, immigration, mental health and medical needs, and criminal legal and family policing systems. A master’s degree in social work from an accredited program and a Colorado LSW (or commitment to obtain one) are required for this position; a Colorado LCSW and the ability to provide clinical supervision to other social workers are an additional bonus.
A love of managing staff: This person has several years of management experience and truly enjoys helping their team members grow and develop. They have demonstrated skills with self-awareness and personal and professional growth, direct communication and feedback, empathy and active listening, coaching staff to solve problems, and expertise in time and case management. Additionally, this is someone who has knowledge of the specific well-being needs of the social work profession, including addressing vicarious trauma and burnout.
Education and collaboration: This is someone who understands how to educate and train others on the value and process of social work, ideally including previous experience collaborating with attorneys. This person is both flexible and direct, and naturally gains the trust of others. They know how to engage people’s strengths toward a goal and to give clear action steps and coaching so they can collaborate effectively.
Passion for social justice and immigration issues in the U.S.: Ideally, this person possesses some work or lived experience in the immigration space, but at a minimum, has been paying attention to the issues over the last few years, and is fired up to create change that is responsive to the needs of our clients, and is eager to learn about the legal processes and structures that impact individual case outcomes.
Strategic thinking and thought leadership: The ideal candidate has some experience zooming out from day-to-day case management to see patterns and systems issues, and is creative in imagining ways to address structural problems, especially in collaboration with partners. This is someone who knows how to foster relationships with allies across the region to accomplish more together.
Systems-thinker about client case management: Through their previous social work experience, this person has demonstrated a hunger to be organized, efficient, and effective in juggling multiple clients’ cases and demands, and has developed or strengthened systems that balance details and the big picture. This person can handle multiple tasks running in parallel and can triage to help the team meet time-sensitive deadlines while working toward larger goals.
Demonstrated commitment to antiracism, and a track record of promoting equity, justice, and inclusion in previous organizations, both internally and externally.

The mission of the Colorado Energy Office (CEO) is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and consumer energy costs by advancing clean energy, energy efficiency, and zero emission vehicles (ZEV) to benefit all Coloradans. We do this by developing and implementing highly impactful policies and programs, establishing Colorado as a leading state for climate action.
A critical strategy to reduce emissions in Colorado is electrifying the transportation sector - cars, trucks, buses, and bicycles. Colorado has the fifth highest market share for electric vehicles (EVs) in the country, but we have a long way to go to reach our goal of 940,000 EVs on the road by 2030. We do this by providing direct funding for the installation of charging stations across Colorado, supporting incentives to purchase an EV, and providing education and technical support to consumers and vehicle fleets on the environmental and financial benefits of EVs. In addition, we incentivize other forms of electric mobility including electric bicycles (e-bikes) through multiple programs.

The position will work with members of the team to advance transportation electrification statewide for for-profit/market-rate customers as well as income-qualified residents and DICs. Outreach and engagement efforts may include in-person and virtual meetings, presentations and events, social media, collateral development, and more. Up to 15% of the Specialist’s time may be spent traveling throughout Colorado, connecting and developing relationships to advance transportation electrification efforts.

About The Children's Storefront
The science is clear: back-and-forth interactions between caregivers and children in the first three years of life build the strongest foundation for brain growth and lifelong success, and responsive play is an important tool to build babies’ brains -- yet this research often doesn’t reach the parents who could use it to support their children’s healthy development.
The Children's Storefront has partnered with families in Harlem for over fifty years, and is now laser-focused on bringing the power of responsive interactions and child-led play to our community. Our newly-launched playspace model allows parents and children to learn together, with caregivers practicing the skills that spur brain development while receiving immediate feedback and support from early childhood specialists. Our program has a lasting impact on children, families, and communities, and we hope you'll join us to move this important work forward!
About the Position
Program Coaches deliver The Children’s Storefront’s early childhood program to families across Harlem, New York City, and beyond. Coaches lead in-person group sessions that support caregivers in developing “serve and return” skills (training in our model will be provided). Coaches provide positive feedback to caregivers, and provide insights into the science behind how children’s brain architecture can be built through play and responsive interactions. Coaches also serve as ambassadors for The Children’s Storefront, engaging in outreach activities to promote the program and connect with new families.
Coaches employ a hybrid model – spending part of their time working remotely and part of their time in-person at our playspace in Harlem – and work 35 hours per week. This will include weekends and potentially early evening hours in order to accommodate family schedules; exact schedules will be determined in consultation with the Program Manager. Coaches must be based in New York City. We are specifically seeking candidates that speak both English and Spanish to help us expand our Spanish-language programming.
Primary Responsibilities
Administrative Work
The Coach is responsible for the administrative work necessary in order to deliver high-quality, community-centered programming that is reflective of our organizational values and helps to achieve our strategic goals.
Track attendance in classes over time, as well as important observations, assessments, etc.
Respond in a timely manner to all data requests concerning performance, family engagement, and other programmatic queries
Support communications to caregivers, including sending attendance reminders and other general check-ins via email or phone
Complete light cleaning and tidying of the playspace after all in-person sessions, including cleaning toys and other sessions materials
Program Delivery
The Coach leads our in-person classes, providing guidance to caregivers on early childhood brain development.
Plan weekly curriculum, including activities and focus areas; collaborate with program team to determine monthly themes for sessions and new approaches to support caregivers’ skill development
Deliver program content and explain the research and science behind early childhood brain development in an accessible, engaging way to support the development of responsive parenting skills
Work to establish trusting relationships with all families, grounded in anti-racist practice, a community orientation, and a personalized, reflective approach that supports the needs of each caregiver and child
Engage in community building with families and creating space for shared reflection, support, and learning
Engage in outreach activities – including tabling, canvassing, presentations, digital outreach, and other tactics – in order to boost attendance for all sessions
Collaborate with coaching team and Program Manager to continuously improve upon and refine TCS’ program based on observations, newly identified best practices, and caregiver feedback
Qualifications
A minimum of a high school diploma or GED is required, along with at least two years of professional experience in direct work with families and young children. Additional education or experience in early childhood education or early intervention is preferred.
As The Children’s Storefront is in the start-up phase, coaches should be creative problem-solvers, adaptive and flexible, and highly organized. We seek candidates who are self-motivated and are strategic in their time management. Above all, Coaches should be deeply invested in the community and should approach their work with curiosity, a growth mindset, and a passion for supporting families. Candidates who are bilingual (English/Spanish) are preferred.
The Children’s Storefront serves a diverse and evolving neighborhood. Candidates should view this as a source of strength, and should enjoy building authentic, trusting relationships with those who may hold identities or have lived experiences that differ from their own. Further, as an organization centering justice and racial equity, candidates must be committed to the ongoing individual work that anti-racist practice requires of us.
Our Benefits
100% employer-paid premiums for health, dental, and vision insurance for individual employees (with generous options for spouse/family coverage)
Flexible spending account
Ample paid time off, including 15 holidays, 10 sick days, and 15 vacation days
Professional development funds for each team member, along with regular team training opportunities
Hybrid work schedule - team members work remotely part of the time, and spend the rest of their time in our office in Harlem, NY
Application Instructions
You can apply via email. Please send your resume and cover letter to HR@TheChildrensStorefront.org with the subject line “Program Coach - Your Name”.
Your cover letter should be no more than one page in length, and it should detail how your experience positions you for this role and why you are invested in early childhood work. Applications without a cover letter will not be considered.
Because of the volume of applications we receive, we will not be able to respond individually to each applicant. We will only contact you if you are selected for an interview. We are a small team, and appreciate candidates refraining from calling us to enquire about their application.
The Children’s Storefront recruits, employs, trains, compensates, and promotes team members without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, disability, HIV/AIDS status, veteran status or any other characteristic protected by law. All are encouraged to apply.
