Please join us in recognizing Clinton Ignatov, a valued member of the Onyx Community Services team.

Clinton first joined us as a student volunteer during the months of July and August, where he quickly demonstrated dedication, compassion, and a strong commitment to supporting others. Through his hard work and connection with clients, he became an integral part of our team.

Since September, Clinton has continued his journey with us in a professional capacity as an ACSW Supervisor. In this role, he regularly connects with clients offering consistent check-ins, supporting discussions around substance use, and helping individuals build healthy routines. He is passionate about guiding clients in setting meaningful goals and working toward more stable, fulfilling lives.

Clinton’s thoughtful approach and genuine care for those he serves reflect the values of Onyx Community Services. Outside of his work, he enjoys reading non-fiction, exploring computer programming, and studying media.

We are proud to have Clinton on our team and look forward to his continued impact.

Yesterday, our staff were able to donate nine bags of frozen meat to our community partner Fire of God's Grocery Program in support of their ongoing community outreach efforts.

Fire of God is a faith-based organization dedicated to serving individuals and families through compassion, outreach, and meaningful acts of care. It’s a privilege to support their mission and contribute to the important work they continue to do in the community.

As our community partners together, we are able to reach more people and make a greater difference.

We are currently seeking volunteers to support reception and front-desk operations with Onyx Community Services.

This role includes greeting visitors, managing check-ins, assisting with administrative tasks, and helping maintain a professional and welcoming environment.

No prior experience is required—anyone is welcome to apply. Whether you’re looking to gain experience, build skills, or give back to the community, we encourage you to get involved.

If you’re organized, friendly, and eager to learn, we’d love to hear from you.
Apply today and be part of a supportive and collaborative team.
