**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.

The Impact A Youth Worker In The Community Support Services Program Can Make:

You will support the youth with personal planning, assist with finding employment, referrals to other social services and involve the youth in recreational opportunities.

- Initiate, develop and maintain relationships with at risk youth 16-24 years of age
- Upon entry to the Program, introduce the services provided, orient new youth, complete program intake/admission
- Work collaboratively with other staff to assist youth in identifying attainable short and long-term goals, strategies for meeting these goals, and an action plan for implementation
- Provide guidance and support to youth looking to better their education and employment goals
- Coordinate youth meetings and activities, including recreation and life skills
- Respond to any emergencies or potential behavioral, mental health, emotional, or substance use concerns using trauma-informed practice
- Provide Outreach support as required to assist youth to connect with Covenant House

- Excellent interpersonal and communication skills
- Familiar with the challenges facing youth who are experiencing homelessness or housing instability
- Familiarity with substance misuse and mental health concerns
- Ability to maintain professional boundaries with the Youth
- Basic computer skills

**Why Work For Us? Would You Like To**:

- Be part of a team that makes a difference in the lives of youth in need
- Work with a multidisciplinary team of youth workers, social workers, clinical counsellors, mentorship and life skills coordinators, outreach, and housing workers
- Work safely with low youth to staff ratio
- Have generous Health & Dental Benefits, including a health spending account, substantial counselling benefits, employee assistance program, excellent vacation, personal and sick leave
- Attend an array of exciting team bonding exercises throughout the year
- An inclusive team that welcomes innovative ideas and creativity

**Diversity, Equity & Inclusion**:
Covenant House Vancouver is a secular organization that welcomes and serves young people from all backgrounds. While the international federation to which we belong was founded in the 1970s by members of the Catholic Church, we are not aligned with any specific faith traditions.
- Persons from groups marginalized due to race, ancestry, colour, religion/spiritual beliefs, or place of origin;
- Persons with visible (physical) and/or invisible (mental) disabilities;
- Persons who identify as women;
- Persons of marginalized sexual orientations, gender identities, and gender expressions; and
- Indigenous persons.

We recognize that many of these identities intersect and that therefore, diversity, equity, and inclusion can be complex. We value the contributions that each person brings and are committed to ensuring full and equal participation for all at Covenant House Vancouver.

We love what we do and try to make a difference every day. Covenant House Vancouver off
