According to the announcement, the Youth Coordinator will work approximately 20 hours per week, including flexible evening and weekend hours along with some weekday shifts. Responsibilities include assisting youth with transportation for court-related appointments, seeking employment opportunities, connecting them with positive social activities, supporting educational or training pursuits such as college applications or GED programs, mentoring healthy relationships, and ensuring access to culturally relevant programming.
