NAYA Family Center seeks a talented and dedicated person to serve as our next Youth Housing Advocate. The Youth Housing Advocate works with young people (ages 15-24 years old) to facilitate their personal and social development, to create healthy and on-going support systems and foster relationships that enable them to gain a voice, influence, and place in their community as they transition to independence. This position works with youth identified as being homeless by providing prevention activities, which are designed to build and strengthen their identity and role within the community.
NAYA offers an exceptional benefits package, including free medical, dental and vision insurance for employees (and affordable care for family members), 401(k) retirement plan with 6% match, paid vacation and paid holidays.
This is a full-time role with work hours of 9 am to 6 pm with a one hour unpaid lunch. This role reports to the Cheyenna Kimbol, Youth Housing Manager. Starting pay is $22 - $25/hour.
Who you are:
- Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work, Counseling, Education, or related field. An equivalent combination of education and experience may be an acceptable substitute.
- Knowledge of service systems and clinical issues related to out-of-home youth ?
- Knowledge and expertise in working with individuals and families ?
- Knowledge of local community, employment, business, and corporate resources
- Knowledge of Native American history, an understanding of the diversity of the local American Indian/Alaskan Native community and issues surrounding the Urban Indian experience required.
- Experience in youth development and/or human services with low income and/or culturally diverse populations required ?
- Experience working with homeless youth issues, including youth risk prevention work preferred ?
- Demonstrated ability to manage and maintain caseload of 25-40 youth efficiently ?
- Demonstrated ability to elicit client participation and involvement in individual and program planning and evaluation
What you'll do:
- Duties include providing a range of support services directly to youth assigned to caseload, as well as performing auxiliary tasks that indirectly facilitate overall quality and integrity of services provided. This position is primarily a direct service position (80%), with the balance of the time (20%) spent performing general administrative tasks and service coordination.
- Provide crisis intervention, support, information and referral and advocacy for youth assigned to case load, as well as other youth in the program as needed.
- Create and nurture protective factors (such as caring relationships, high expectations, and relevant and meaningful participation) in each youth’s environment.
- Maintain documentation in a timely, thorough and accurate manner in accordance with agency guidelines and as required by funding sources.
- Provide referrals to other services as needed - connecting clients with family or other counseling services as needed to prevent or mitigate youth homelessness.
- Coordinate wraparound services effectively with other NAYA Family Center programs and staff
