The Center for Youth
Started BY YOUTH FOR YOUTH. We partner with youth to realize their full potential, by creating opportunities, removing barriers and promoting social justice.
Overview
The Center for Youth's multiple residential programs include Emergency Shelter for youth ages 12-17, Crisis Nurseries for children under 14, and Transitional Living Programs for youth and young adults ages 16-24. All provide emergency and independent living supports and services to runaway and homeless youth. The Overnight Resident Assistant Float position provides on-site engagement and support that is strength-based and mutually respectful. The team's ultimate goal is to provide emergency and transitional care and support to families in crisis and homeless youth in a safe, respectful environment and to work with them to resolve the issues that led to their homelessness so that they can ultimately secure and maintain a stable living environment. This position will work out of the Devonshire Apartment program, where it provides support and coverage at the other residential sites as needed.
