Board Treasurer for Nonprofit Organization
Sojourners’ Place – Board Treasurer position Sojourners’ Place, a Wilmington DE nonprofit, was established in 1991. Its mission is to assist homeless men and women on their journey to self-sufficiency by delivering comprehensive, case-managed services, addressing substance use disorders, mental health needs, legal challenges, and employment. Our website is www.sojournersplace.org.
Through a unique case management model inspired by 12-step recovery, Sojourners’ Place has become a cornerstone of Delaware’s human services sector. It strives to break the cycle of poverty, homelessness, and addiction, equipping residents with the tools for independence and sobriety. Residents may remain at Sojourners’ Place as long as needed, free of charge, to receive necessary training, achieve employment, secure permanent housing, and become self-sufficient. Our primary goal is not just giving Hope for the Homeless, but to also provide a Light for the Journey.
The success of our program is contingent upon the commitment of the individual and the level of services we provide. More than 85% of the individuals who come through our doors achieve the goals set at the time of intake. The success of the organization over the years can be attributed to the support of the community, religious organizations, and foundation and government funding.
