Our Clinical Services require the possession of a Master's Degree from an accredited school of counseling, social work, etc. (MSW, LPC or MFT). Family Support Services require a Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education, Child and Family Development, Social Work or related area.

Bilingual English/Spanish and persons of diverse backgrounds are encouraged to apply. Knowledge of resources in Jackson County, MO and Eastern Jackson County is highly recommended.
