Alternatives Overview

Our mission is to inspire young people to create a just future through practices that heal individuals, restore communities, and transform systems.

Our school and community-based therapy, prevention and leadership development programs support young people to individually and collectively address causes of substance abuse, grief and trauma while building social-emotional, career and social change skills. In addition to working directly with young people, we train, coach and advocate for youth-serving institutions like Chicago Public Schools to be restorative and trauma-informed.

Position Overview

  • Assist volunteers in accessing and utilizing the "Manage My Case" dashboard to verify their status, review state correspondence, and check the "Check if I meet SNAP work requirements" screening tools.
  • Guide volunteers through the Illinois Application for Benefits Eligibility (ABE) portal (www.abe.illinois.gov), directly assisting them in troubleshooting account creation, password resets, and initial application entries if needed.
  • Maintain an up-to-date understanding of Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) eligibility standards, income thresholds, and specific exemptions for both SNAP and Medicaid.
  • Attend relevant training and convenings to stay updated on new trends, requirements, and compliance standards for SNAP and Medicaid eligibility.
