Aletheia House is a licensed behavioral health prevention and treatment nonprofit headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama. For more than forty years we have provided prevention services to Alabama communities, and for more than fifteen years we have operated an outpatient substance use disorder treatment program in Dallas County from our Selma office. Our work centers on expanding access to prevention, treatment, and recovery support for rural and underserved communities.

West Alabama VOLT (Volunteer Overdose Life‑saving Training) is a four‑year, SAMHSA‑funded First Responders–Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act (FR‑CARA) project led by the Dallas County Commission, with Aletheia House as the regional training and clinical services partner. The project trains volunteer and career first responders (volunteer fire departments, rescue squads, EMS, and law enforcement) and community members across nine rural counties — Butler, Choctaw, Clarke, Dallas, Marengo, Monroe, Perry, Sumter, and Wilcox — to recognize and reverse opioid overdoses, distributes opioid overdose reversal medication (naloxone) kits, and builds warm hand‑off referral pathways into treatment and recovery support.

Training uses Overdose Lifeline, Inc.'s CE‑accredited First Responder Naloxone and Layperson Naloxone Administration courses, paired with a standardized SBIRT referral framework.

The Project Coordinator is key personnel on the West Alabama VOLT project and manages its day‑to‑day implementation across all nine counties. This role turns the grant's plan into a working regional network: scheduling and securing training sites with volunteer fire departments and community partners, supervising the Community Health Worker, keeping documentation and federal reporting accurate and on time, and serving as a primary point of contact for SAMHSA's federal project officer alongside the Dallas County Commission Project Director.

The ideal candidate is organized, relationship‑driven, comfortable on rural roads, and motivated by keeping people alive.

• Manage day‑to‑day operations of the project in accordance with the approved grant work plan, timeline, and budget, ensuring service delivery begins within four months of award.
• Work with volunteer fire departments, EMS, law enforcement, and community anchor partners to secure training dates, sites, and logistics across Butler, Choctaw, Clarke, Dallas, Marengo, Monroe, Perry, Sumter, and Wilcox counties, including evening and weekend sessions that fit volunteer schedules.
• Supervise, schedule, and support the Community Health Worker, including field observation, coaching, and performance feedback.
• Help deliver overdose education and naloxone distribution (OEND) trainings as a certified trainer, and support the phased train‑the‑trainer rollout that expands coverage from Dallas and adjacent counties in Year 1 to all nine counties by Year 2.
• Form and staff the regional Community Engagement Committee within the first six months of the project, including scheduling semi‑annual meetings and sharing de‑identified, county‑level performance data with members.
• Lead completion of nine‑county resource mapping within the first six months, identifying community assets, needs, and gaps in public health, emergency response, and volunteer resources.
• Cultivate new community anchor partners (churches, businesses, civic organizations, municipalities) so that each of the nine counties has at least one anchor by the end of Year 2.
• Establish and maintain standardized warm hand‑off referral…
