    Job description

    Position Details

    Engage with and provide outreach services to youth and young adults ages 10-24 who are experiencing unsafe and/or unstable housing. Services are client-centered and delivered in the community through van outreach to encampments, community co-locations, and other connections. The Street Outreach Specialist will, in addition to community outreach, coordinate additional services, present to, and maintain liaison relationships with schools and other community business/partners where youth are frequently located and/or that provide services to youth. Positive outcomes are achieved through purposeful and respectful relationships rooted in trauma-informed care, hope, and cultural humility. An openness to embrace and explore bias, equity issues, successes, and challenges from a place of understanding and curiosity is needed to succeed and develop in the position/organization.

    Position Requirements:

    • Completion of High School or equivalent
    • Valid Driver’s License, current auto insurance, and clean driving history
    • Knowledge of and/or experience working with youth and young adults

    If your experience doesn't align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway! Arbor Circle recognizes folks who are queer, trans, non-binary, Black, Indigenous, people of color, disabled, parents, and/or immigrants who have experienced systemic oppression and/or involvement with the justice system, foster care, may have current or previous lived experience of homelessness, and/or are survivors of violence. We believe that these identities must be centered in the work we do. Your lived experience is valued, and you are encouraged to apply. 

    We understand that candidates may have unique experiences and skills that aren't always reflected in a job description. If you feel you could contribute to our team, please apply.
