Watercourse Counseling Center

Watercourse Counseling is a nonprofit organization in Minneapolis, MN dedicated to centering, cultivating and valuing our communities. To advance our mission, we center community needs in the delivery of high quality, accessible mental health services; cultivate a strengths-based, equity-focused and community-responsive workforce; and value the strengths and wisdom of all individuals. Join Watercourse’s Community Outreach & Engagement Project and be a part of increasing access to care by creating a community-driven service model in the 3 sectors of Minneapolis federally designated as mental health professional shortage areas. As a long-term provider of community mental health services, we recognize there are gaps and unmet needs in areas of our city. We trust that the residents who call those areas home and who weave the social fabric of their communities are best equipped to devise solutions and strategies that will fit their needs. Therefore, we will utilize a grass-roots organizing approach to engage the community by attending local events, facilitating focus groups, forging local agency partnerships and building authentic relationships from a stance of cultural humility and curiosity. We are looking for candidates skilled in communications, networking, leadership, problem-solving, self-direction, community organizing, advocacy, research and analysis. Benefits include the opportunity to work with a diverse, dedicated team, relationship-building, and personal fulfillment. For more info, email cartert@watercoursecounseling.org
