Family Navigator Catholic Charities

Make a Meaningful Impact — One Family at a Time

At Catholic Charities of Central Colorado, we believe that strong families build strong communities. As a Family Navigator, you’ll be the first point of hope and support for families navigating tough times — helping them find stability, access critical resources, and move toward long‑term well‑being.

This is more than a job — it’s a chance to walk alongside families with compassion and care. You’ll connect them to services that match their goals and needs, remove barriers standing in their way, and provide steady, strengths‑based support when it’s needed most.

You’ll conduct intakes and assessments, collaborate with partners across the community, and offer hands‑on help that truly makes a difference — all while being backed by a passionate, trauma‑informed team that believes in growth, equity, and continuous learning.

If you’re flexible, adaptable, people‑centered, and ready to be part of meaningful change, we want to meet you. Evening and weekend availability may be needed to best serve families — but your time, talents, and dedication will be supported along the way with paid training, team collaboration, and opportunities to grow.
