Introducing Linden, Our Newest Team Member

Please help us welcome Linden Ide to the Working Fields team!

Linden currently resides in Claremont, NH, where he lives a life in recovery and is also the manager of a sober house. Get in touch with him.

Community Housing Resources

As thousands of people lose or face the loss of their housing, Vermont communities are working to address immediate need and create real solutions. Here are two resources you can share with anyone who wants to help: 
  1. Sign up to provide direct assistance like storage (from Vermont Interfaith Agency)
  2. Register as a community resource provider (from End Homelessness Vermont)

Have Your BSW or MSW?

Working Fields is seeking a BSW or MSW to provide field supervision for a BSW internship this fall. Over the course of the semester, the volunteer supervisor will help the intern develop a learning agreement, engage in weekly or bi-weekly supervision meetings, and provide a year-end evaluation. 
This intern, a UVM student, will have the opportunity to work in the field with the individuals that Working Fields supports through our supportive employment model. The intern will be able to gain insight into the barriers and challenges created through homelessness, justice involvement and substance use disorder. 
Interested, qualified BSWs and MSWs should send an email of interest to mickey@workingfields.com.
