Basic Function:
A Friend works intensively with eight (8) children as a positive adult role model to develop a caring, trusting and sustained relationship with each child. For each child, a Friend will set positive expectations; nurture and promote their strengths, talents and abilities; help assure physical and emotional well-being; teach life and academic skills; provide enrichment activities; and model responsible behavior. A Friend will fully document activities and participate in an ongoing evaluation process. Friends will work primarily one-on-one with their children while empowering their parents to advocate for their children through an ongoing, respectful, and strengths-based partnership. A Friend must also know, understand, honor and support the organization's mission, vision, values, principles and policies, and be able to clearly articulate the organization's function.
Core Job Accountabilities
- Develop and sustain a long term, caring, trusting and accepting relationship with each child;
- Spend time with or on behalf of the child one-on-one in the classroom and in the community;
- Develop and maintain positive relationships with parents/caregivers, extended family, teachers, and others involved in each child's life; advocating for youth and empowering youth to advocate for themselves;
- Partner with parents/caregivers to provide concrete and social emotional supports for the family, and links to appropriate community resources;
- Teach life skills and healthy habits to contribute both to basic development and learning, and to contribute to building positive self-esteem, behavioral management skills, tolerance, respect for others, courtesies and compassion;

- Provide enrichment resources and activities which include opportunities for cultural awareness, diversity and community service;
- Reinforce basic academic skills and learning;

- Participate in the programming and resources available through the organization, effectively utilizing program resources to meet the needs of each child and their families;
- Maintain spending within allocated youth budget;
- Complete, distribute and collect time summaries, activity journals, short term plans, expense reports and evaluation materials accurately and in a timely manner;
- Attend and actively participate in team meetings, staff functions, and trainings;
- Provide information and support to development team and related activities as needed;
- Fulfill other responsibilities as required.
- Ability to develop and maintain trusting supportive relationships with children, families, teachers, and others involved in each child's life;
- Demonstrated ability to work with children in varied capacities and settings to help them learn and grow;
- Ability to maintain confidentiality and communicate appropriately within the workplace;
- Ability to use creativity and initiative in planning activities to continually develop children;
- Ability to manage several concurrent issues and solve problems effectively, exercising appropriate discretion and judgment, and under varying levels of stress;
- Ability to set goals and develop plans to meet those goals to ensure the development of each child;
- Ability to complete administrative tasks accurately and on time;
- Willingness to work collaboratively, but with the capacity to work independently;
- Strong interpersonal skills;

- Ability to adapt personal experience and skills;
- Ability to handle high mobility and driving demands safely and with good judgement;
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, strong organizational and time management skills, professional demeanor, and sound judgment;
- Basic computer and keyboarding skills, proficiency with e-mail systems, familiarity with Microsoft Outlook, Teams, and Access (or other database applications);
This is a full-time, non-exempt position in a hybrid work environment.
Due to the nature of a Friend's role, the work hours are somewhat non-traditional, and include late afternoon and evening work. The general workweek is Monday through Friday, with occasional weekend events.
- We recognize that each Friend's daily work schedule will vary due to the uniqueness of the role and the needs of the individual children being served.
- The Program requires that you see each of your assigned children both in and outside of school and/or daycare, for an average of four hours each week, although how you accomplish that is at your discretion within established Program guidelines.
- Must be comfortable actively engaging in activities with youth in community settings such as parks, libraries, and schools.
- Driving will take place throughout the South Bay;
- You are required to maintain current driver's license, good driving record, and vehicle insurance;
- You will be reimbursed for mileage related to youth transportation.
Education and Experience Required:
Bachelor's degree preferred, plus 2-4 years' experience working/volunteering with youth in a social service setting or with families impacted by systemic injustice and chronic trauma.
Alternatively associate's degree required, plus 4-6 years' experience working/volunteering with youth in a social service setting or with families impacted by systemic injustice and chronic trauma.
