**BIPOC Youth Crime Prevention Program - Community Integration Youth Advocate**

**Full Time (40hrs/week)**

**The Agency**

The Calgary John Howard Society (CJHS) is a community-based charitable organization dedicated to reducing the incidence of crime and increasing community safety through preventative and restorative justice practices. To accomplish these ends, we provide direct services to individuals at risk, advocacy for effective responses to crime with the individuals involved and education for youth and adults in the community. The Calgary John Howard Society is committed to an organizational environment that recognizes the dignity and worth of each person. CJHS values diversity and inclusion and welcomes qualified applicants from all walks of life.

**The Program**

The BIPOC Youth Crime Prevention Project targets youth aged 12-17. The program provides an intensive systems navigation approach for youth exiting incarceration and transitioning into the community. Ground in restorative justice principles and philosophies, the program provides advocacy, support, and mentorship for youth who are struggling with a variety of social and emotional issues including current criminal involvement or criminal behavior, addressing unhealthy risk-taking, school challenges, strained or negative family and peer relationships.
