Job description

The Day Reporting Facilitator (Contractor 1099) provides intensive supervision and intervention services for youth exhibiting disruptive or delinquent behavior, with the goal of preventing placement into more restrictive settings such as juvenile detention or residential care.

The facilitator works to stabilize families, reduce recidivism, and promote long-term behavioral change through a cognitive-behavioral approach.

This role is designed for individuals who can work intensively with at-risk youth, identify underlying needs, and implement effective, real-time strategies to address disruptive or delinquent behavior.
