Street FraternityLicensed Social Worker
Oct. 2016 - Jan. 20188720 E Colfax AveStreet Fraternity is a non-profit organization that serves young men ages 14-24 in the refugee and immigrant communities on East Colfax in Denver. This participant-driven program works to build a sense of community, brotherhood, respect, and leadership in all who participate. Utilizing the passions of engaged volunteers and staff as mentors to these young men through conversation, sharing a meal, working out, or creating music in the music studio, these young men are empowered to make choices and decisions about their lives to live the life they want. As the onsite social worker, my responsibilities include resource referrals, emergency mental health assessments, and general case work, as needed.
