BY YOUTH FOR YOUTH.

We partner with youth to realize their full potential, by creating opportunities, removing barriers and promoting social justice.

Overview:

The Center for Youth's multiple residential programs include Emergency Shelter for youth ages 12-17, Crisis Nurseries for children under 14, and Transitional Living Programs for youth and young adults ages 16-24. All provide emergency and independent living supports and services to runaway and homeless youth. The Overnight Resident Assistant Float position provides on-site engagement and support that is strength-based and mutually respectful. The team's ultimate goal is to provide emergency and transitional care and support to families in crisis and homeless youth in a safe, respectful environment and to work with them to resolve the issues that led to their homelessness so that they can ultimately secure and maintain a stable living environment. This position will work out of the Devonshire Apartment program, where it provides support and coverage at the other residential sites as needed.
