Since 1972, PADS Lake County has provided immediate, critical services to individuals and families that are experiencing homelessness. Our mission is to provide trauma-informed support, resources, and shelter to individuals and families experiencing a housing crisis. We envision a community in which homelessness is rare, brief, and nonrecurring; one in which those experiencing a housing crisis have timely access to needed resources and services. As the only emergency homeless shelter in Lake County, PADS serves as the point of entry not only to our holistic wrap-around services and shelter; but also, provides referrals to other homeless services and housing options in the community. Our main facility is in Waukegan, while our shelters and housing programs are strategically located throughout Lake County. The Office Management VISTA will gain experience working in a social service setting and build skills in grant writing and community engagement. The ideal candidate will have customer service experience, speak Spanish, and be highly organized. The position requires attention to detail, the ability to relay information across different departments, and comfort working on a team
