Job description

Job Description: The private non-profit agency Youth Empowerment Siskiyou advocates for youth that have been exposed to trauma and youth who are at-risk of trauma exposure. YES advocates for youth in the foster care and juvenile justice system through its Court Appointed Special Advocate program, operates a trauma-informed summer camp and year-round mentorship program, provides Family Law supervised visitation, and offers case management to youth experiencing homelessness. YES is also working to open a shelter for youth age 13-25. We strive to build and support a strong local community in Siskiyou County, where every child, teen and young adult is and feels safe, loved, and empowered.

Our Values:

Equity. Individualized service plans better meet the needs of the people we serve. "One size fits all" may still leave people underserved.

Evolution. As community members, we value engagement with our neighbors and strive to be locally responsive. We want to grow together.

Nurturance. We believe everyone deserves to be treated with compassion, dignity and empathy. We embrace trauma-informed care.

Integrity. We strive for financial and programmatic transparency and encourage our community to hold us accountable in discontinuing the harm that has been caused in the past by child welfare organizations.

We strongly encourage all to apply (including people of color; lesbian; bisexual; queer; trans and gender non-conforming people; intersex people; and people with disabilities).
