-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- About us:
Every day, BC’s children and youth in care face big challenges. SOS Children’s Village BC helps them meet those challenges, by providing love, support, and family stability in our village of five foster homes in Surrey, BC. We’re part of SOS Children’s Villages International - the largest privately funded children’s development program in the world. Growing up without a parent can be tough, but at Canada’s only SOS Children’s Village we give kids in care a village of belonging and homes filled with hope.

Transition to Adulthood Program:
The goal of SOS Children’s Village BC Transition to Adulthood Program is to meet the needs of youth in developing their independent living and life skills so they can transition into adulthood successfully.

About the Role:
As a Lead Youth Worker for SOS, your responsibilities will include in field direct client contact, case management, as well as some administration duties. In our outreach element the Youth Workers meet with youth regularly these meetings are structured to be convenient, personal and outside of an agency setting, which makes the youth feel valued and secure. We want to make sure our kids know that they are not facing their challenges alone and the SOS team are here to help.

The Youth Workers will lead the SOS team’s efforts to provide support and guidance with housing, school, employment and whatever the youth identifies as a need. The second element of our program is our Village/Residential element, where we are creating a program model in which permanency is key, as life-long connection and support is a key of the SOS Children’s Village vision. The Village/Residential element will be a six month to one year structured program in which Youth Workers will counsel youth and teach life skills, such as cooking, finances, employment, and in addition the SOS Village team can provide extensive therapeutic and other supports.

The non-judgmental, customized and intensive support of this program is sometimes the one last lifeline for kids who have run out of options.

Key Responsibilities:

- Support youth living in the SOS Children’s Village and the community in developing independent living skills and age appropriate life skills
