We are looking for someone who believes that relationships with safe, supportive adults can change the trajectory for youth. Do you want to be that adult and help support, coach, model and train vulnerable youth in age-appropriate behaviors, communication, problem solving, conflict resolution and relationship building? Help guide young people in connecting to community-based resources, support, and prosocial activities with the goal of stabilizing the youth within themselves, their family, and their community.
