Full Time Success Coach Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Extended Foster Care Program Overview 

Ohana is launching its Extended Foster Care (EFC) program in direct partnership with the Arizona Department of Child Safety, which will serve young adults in foster care starting at 17.5 years old. Ohana’s EFC program will work directly with young adults to build and maintain a relationship with them that seeks to encourage them to voluntarily enter and participate in the state of Arizona’s Extended Foster Care program. As part of this program, Ohana Success Coaches will walk alongside these young adults until their 21st birthday, helping to prepare them for a successful transition into adulthood and beyond.

At Ohana, our mission is to provide residential and supportive services to the most vulnerable through love, hope, and instilling a sense of purpose. The Extended Foster Care Program is an exciting new support service that Ohana is proud to provide. In order to fulfill our mission, Ohana is currently seeking full-time Success Coaches to join our team.
