GreenLight Fund Twin Cities Overview
GreenLight Fund launched in the Twin Cities in 2020 - in the wake of the murder of George Floyd. At a time when the racial disparities that exist locally were exacerbated by the global pandemic and continued violence against Black and Brown bodies, GreenLight Fund Twin Cities made the decision to prioritize organizations that focused on collaboratively creating opportunities for inclusive prosperity within Black communities. In 2022, we brought in Let Everyone Advance with Dignity, a public health approach to community safety, designed to provide intensive, holistic care to individuals cycling in and out of the legal system. To add to our portfolio, we are currently focusing on Black and Indigenous Maternal Health as well as Mental Health for Black and Brown youth. Our goal is to remove barriers within these communities, because when Black and Brown communities succeed, we all do.

At Raise the Future, we believe every young person goes through life knowing they have a caring adult by their side. So, every day, we show up for kids in foster care by listening to their needs and introducing them to adults they can rely on. We then surround those connections with support so that they grow into meaningful, lasting relationships that help our youth heal from the past. Because to truly raise the future, we must raise the bar for what it means to support vulnerable youth and families as they navigate life.
Since our founding in 1983, Raise the Future has designed and implemented evidence-based, wraparound services that reduce the amount of time youth in foster care live without a permanent family. Our programs increase the likelihood of forming and sustaining positive connections that help to transform their futures.
What You Will Get To Learn
As a Rest and Recharge Provider, you will learn and apply valuable tools and techniques of the Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI®), which is an attachment-based, trauma-informed intervention that is designed to meet the complex needs of vulnerable children. Our Rest & Recharge providers are provided with over 25 hours of paid training to equip you with the skills to be successful.
What We Offer
As a nonprofit organization, we are mission driven, and our employees are highly engaged in the work they do. The best reward is when our efforts payoff and youth leave the child welfare system and find lasting connections with families.
This is a part-time, position with no benefits. The pay range for this position is $20 - $23 per hour. Actual hiring range may vary based on qualifications.
In addition, employees who live more than 40 miles of our Denver office will be considered a remote employee and eligible to receive a monthly stipend of $100 for the personal use of their cell phone and internet.
What You Will Be Able To Accomplish
As a Rest and Recharge Provider, you'll be building connections with youth and their families, and provide support that allow them to make big changes---moving families from surviving to thriving and raising the future for youth. When this happens, our staff feel like superheroes!
You Get to Work With
You will join our diverse team of other professionals who are like-minded in their passion for raising the future for families with youth that have been in the child welfare system -- working closely with reunified biological families, kinship families, and adoptive families.
Who We Are Seeking
The successful candidate is someone who understands challenges related to permanency achieved through guardianship or adoption. You must be an advocate for youth, and families and have an ability to engage with families in all walks of life. This position is best suited for someone who is tenacious, hardworking, and loves helping others.
