Job description
The WISe Youth Partner is a Certified Peer Specialist who draws on their lived experience as a young person who has navigated trauma, emotional or behavioral health challenges, and involvement in child-serving systems. You are a trusted bridge between the youth you serve and the WISe team ensuring that the voice and choice of each young person is genuinely heard, respected, and reflected at every stage of the process.
You will build the kind of authentic, peer-based relationship that makes it safe for youth to speak up.
