Youth Advocate

Under the supervision of the Assistant Community School Director, Youth Advocates will work with chronically absent youth to address the barriers keeping them from going to school every day- and to help them reach their educational outcomes. The Youth Advocate will help identify the causes of poor attendance, which may include family struggles or poor health and work with CAS staff and DOE to seek solutions.

Success mentors may also be asked to work directly with groups of youth, lead activities, and organize events. The incumbent will understand and promote the organization’s Mission, Vision, and Core Values to ensure alignment with the functions of the position.
