Job description

At YSS, every day is different-and every day matters. As a Weekend Youth Specialist in our Transitional Living Program, you'll be part mentor, part coach, part problem-solver, and one of the most consistent adults in a young person's life. You'll help youth build confidence, learn everyday life skills, and take meaningful steps toward independence-all while creating a safe, supportive, and welcoming place they can call home. Whether you're helping someone prepare for a job interview, teaching them how to cook dinner, or simply being there to listen, you'll make a lasting impact.
The schedule for this position is Saturday & Sunday, 9:00 am - 8:00 pm. If hired, you must be able to work at least three weekends per month.
What You'll Do...
  • Be a consistent source of support and encouragement by building trusting relationships with youth and providing the guidance, structure, and accountability they need to thrive.
  • Create a safe place to call home by supervising daily activities, supporting routines, and maintaining a welcoming environment where youth can focus on their goals.
  • Help youth take the next steps toward independence by teaching practical life skills like budgeting, cooking, laundry, job searching, transportation, communication, and healthy relationships.
  • Connect youth with the resources they need to succeed by assisting with basic needs, appointments, community services, employment opportunities, and other supports.
  • Support youth through challenges and celebrations by facilitating house meetings, group activities, conflict resolution, and problem-solving opportunities.
  • Guide youth through their transition to independent living by assisting with applications, assessments, required paperwork, and program goals.
  • Promote safety and stability by responding to emergencies, following program guidelines, monitoring client well-being, and addressing concerns with compassion and consistency.
  • Help keep the program running smoothly by maintaining accurate documentation, supporting facility needs, managing supplies, and assisting with team operations.
  • Collaborate with a dedicated team through meetings, trainings, supervision, and support of other program needs as they arise.

This is not a complete list of the responsibilities of this position. Duties may change at any time.
Who You Are...
You're the kind of person who shows up with compassion, patience, and a steady presence. You know that building trust comes before building skills, and you're passionate about helping young people gain the confidence and independence they need to thrive. You stay calm under pressure, embrace every day as a new opportunity, and aren't afraid to jump in wherever you're needed.
What We Provide...
We invest in people-because when you thrive, so do the communities we serve. At YSS, you'll find meaningful work, strong support, and benefits designed for real life.
  • Employee Assistance Program
  • Employee Recognition Program
  • Personal Wellness Programs
  • Pet Insurance Discounts
  • Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) Qualified Employer
  • Retirement Savings Opportunities
  • Ongoing Training and Professional Development

We want to create a world where youth are valued and empowered to stand strong. To do this, we ask our staff to embrace YSS core values - Commitment, Collaboration, Compassion, Innovation, Integrity, and a "Can Do" Spirit.
Required Qualifications - MUST HAVES:
  • High School Diploma or equivalent required
  • At least one (1) year of experience in the human services field
  • You'll be driving a YSS vehicle, so we need you to:
    • Be at least 21
    • Have a valid driver's license and a clean driving record
    • Carry insurance that meets YSS standards

Preferred Qualifications - SHOULD HAVES:
  • Demonstrated ability to take initiative and work independently with minimal supervision.
  • Strong organizational skills with the ability to prioritize tasks and manage multiple responsibilities effectively.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills, including active listening.
  • Proven critical thinking and problem-solving abilities.
  • Ability to adapt quickly to changing priorities and learn new processes.
  • Strong interpersonal skills with a customer service mindset.
  • Ability to work collaboratively with team members and community partners.
  • Demonstrated ability to manage time and resources efficiently while maintaining attention to detail.

The IDEAL Candidate
  • Is rooted in purpose and driven by equity, inclusion, and positive social impact.
  • Brings humility, respect, and cultural awareness to every interaction.
  • Speaks a second language (especially one spoken in our communities).

We Celebrate Your Story...

If you're ready to use it to uplift and empower others, we warmly encourage you to apply.
