Services may take place in the home, school, or community and are aligned with goals established by DCS or probation services.

• Communicate regularly with schools, probation, and DCS to support service goals.
• Provide services in-home, at school, or in the community based on the youth’s needs.
• Maintain documentation, including progress updates, reports, and attendance.
• Track measurable outcomes and contribute to ongoing quality improvement efforts.

Skills & Qualifications

• Minimum of 4 years of experience working with youth and families in education, social work, or juvenile justice settings.
• Strong communication, mentoring, and facilitation skills.

• Must be 21 years or older with valid driver’s license, auto insurance, and transportation.
• Must pass local, state, and federal background checks.
• Comfortable working independently in a community-based setting.
• Culturally responsive and trauma-informed service mindset.
