Founded on the steps of St. John’s Lutheran Church in 1985, Saint John’s Program for Real Change has helped more than 30,000 women and children transform their lives from poverty and dependence to confidence and self-sustainability. Dedicated to the eradication of homelessness once and for all, this up-to-18-month comprehensive residential program provides families with the tools they need to address the root causes as well as the symptoms of homelessness: mental health therapy, drug and alcohol counseling, life skills classes (anger management, parenting, budgeting, positive thinking, healthy relationships and more), a path to a high school diploma and Employment Training. The Female Community Reentry Program (FCRP) allows eligible offenders with serious and violent crimes committed to State prison to serve their sentence in the community at a FCRP as designated by the Department, in lieu of confinement in State prison and at the discretion of the Secretary. The FCRP will provide a range of rehabilitative services that assist with alcohol and drug recovery, employment, education, housing, family reunification, and social support. **Benefits/Perks of a career at Saint John’s** * * * - Choice of 8 medical plans - Choice of 3 dental plans - Vision, Life and Accident and Injury Insurance - Employee Assistance Program - 403 (b) 100% match for 1%–6% of pay - Paid Time Off includes: 11 paid holidays, 2 floating holidays, 7 sick days and up to 18 days of vacation per calendar year. **TITLE** ​Cook​ **SALARY** $​20.00-$25.00​ ​Per Hour​ **CLASSIFICATION** ​ Full-Time​, ​Non-Exempt​ **LOCATION** ​ On Site Only - Power Inn Rd.
