Who we are:

• Our Mission – Community Counseling Centers of Chicago (C4), a behavioral health advocate and social service provider, offers quality, comprehensive customer-oriented services tailored to the diversity of its consumers.
• Our Vision – Community Counseling Centers of Chicago (C4) will be, and will be recognized as, essential to the wellbeing of the communities we serve.
• Philosophy – C4 believes that people recovering from mental illness and emotional trauma are able to live, work and thrive in the community.

Community Counseling Centers of Chicago (C4) serves some of Chicago’s most vulnerable residents. We are a pioneer in building hope and breaking down barriers to healing-from the personal to the systemic—through an integrated, community approach.

You have an opportunity to be a part of a dramatic turnaround at C4 and creating strength in community. In the depths of multiple societal traumas for our clients—personal challenges, COVID-19, America’s racial reckoning, massive unemployment numbers—C4 also found itself in a management and financial crisis. With new leadership in place since June 2020, we have stabilized our financial position, improved cashflow, won new grants, increased staff productivity and morale, and hired over 50 new staff members! All of this is being achieved through a transparent, participatory process through engaging our Board of Directors, clients, employees and a variety of community partners.

What we offer:

• Competitive salary based upon relevant education and licensure
• Comprehensive benefits package including healthcare insurance, paid vacation and holidays, and 403(b) plan (no match).
