  • Considerable knowledge of available recreational, social, educational, cultural, and vocational opportunities offered through public and private organizations;
  • Working knowledge of standard casework techniques and their application to behavioral, social, and family problems;
  • Past demonstrated experience working with a variety of partner agencies;
  • Ability to engage youth in activities;
  • Proven ability to generate new ideas and organize special events within a budget.

Required qualifications include: a University or college degree in social sciences or a youth-related subject, such as Education or Child and Youth Care, plus a minimum of two years' experience working with youth, preferably in an outreach capacity, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
