- Appropriate role modeling and advocating on behalf of children, youth and families for any necessary supports and services.
- Creating opportunities for recreational and leisure activities to provide children and youth the opportunity to enhance relationships and make connections in the community.
- Attending and actively participating in community outings, appointments, and meetings.
- Being part of a team that provides a caring and safe environment for children and youth who may require assistance with self regulation, conflict resolution and developing skills needed for healthy relationships.
- Collaborating with external professionals including social workers, health care professionals, policing services, probation, and public schools when necessary.

Essential to your success in this role is awareness of a trauma informed approach, knowledge of physical, psychological, and emotional needs of youth in care and the family unit.
