Youth Empowerment and Support Services (YESS) is currently seeking a Culture Practitioner. This new position will support and embrace the diverse youth and staff of YESS by recognizing race, ethnicity, immigration status, religion, socioeconomic background, and gender identity. Acknowledging our diverse cultures will allow us to incorporate the cultural component in understanding and improving the overall wellbeing of those we serve.

What We Do

YESS is a not-for-profit agency working with youth facing difficult realities. Based in Edmonton, YESS provides immediate and low-barrier 24/7 shelter, a drop-in resource centre, temporary supportive housing, and individualized wrap-around supports for young people aged 15-24.

We work collaboratively within a network of care focused on the prevention of youth homelessness by providing youth with the necessary supports to stabilize their housing, improve their wellbeing, build life skills, connect with community, and avoid re-entry into homelessness.

This role requires collaboration with different departments, as per the needs of the staff and youth.
