The Calgary John Howard Society (CJHS) is a charity that reduces crime and makes Calgary communities safer by helping youth and adults make positive changes and move away from criminal behaviour. We do this by addressing the root causes of crime through housing, education, employment programs and support so that individuals have alternatives to breaking the law. CJHS is committed to restorative justice and an organizational environment that recognizes the dignity and worth of each person. CJHS values diversity and inclusion and welcomes qualified applicants from all walks of life.

The program provides advocacy, support and mentorship for youth 12 to 24 years old who are struggling with a variety of social and emotional issues including strained family relationships, negative peer relationships, school challenges and unhealthy risk taking. Youth are provided with the necessary support to develop pro‑social reactions to conflict, to address day‑to‑day challenges, and to make appropriate choices which allow for positive contributions to family, school, and community.

As a BIPOC Youth Advocate, you’ll work collaboratively with the Youth Advocacy and Support Services, the wider CJHS team, and community partners to help youth build resilience and positive life skills. The Advocate will support an intensive system navigation approach for youth ages 12-17 exiting incarceration to facilitate successful reintegration into the community. Working from a client‑centered, trauma‑informed lens, youth are provided one‐to‐one support with a coordinated and integrative approach for their transition plan.
