Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Covenant House Vancouver Full time
As we serve vulnerable youth, all employees working for Covenant House Vancouver must be fully vaccinated for COVID-19. Proof of vaccination status will be required prior to your start date.

About Covenant House Vancouver:

Since 1997, Covenant House Vancouver has provided relentless support for youth experiencing, or at-risk of experiencing, homelessness.

We provide support to young people age 16 to 24 who have experienced a wide range of early life and ongoing, complex trauma; including physical, sexual and emotional abuse and neglect.

Our purpose is to serve all youth, with absolute respect and unconditional love, to help youth experiencing homelessness, and provide a safe and supportive environment for all youth in need.

Working at Covenant House will be one of the most meaningful things that you'll do in your life. However, you will be confronted with significant issues in this work and frankly, this work is not for everyone.

In the course of doing your work, particularly for those doing frontline work, you will be exposed to the trauma of others.

The youth we serve may also experience overdose, physical harm perpetuated by self or others and even death. Because we provide a relational model of care, the harms our youth experience can impact us in varying degrees.


We will provide more information on vicarious trauma during recruiting and on-boarding, to help you decide if Covenant House is the place for you.
