About The Position
Fair Futures Coaches are full-time, trained professionals who are matched with up to 10-15 young people ages 13 and older who have had experiences with the justice system. Coaches meet young people where they are and build a trusting relationship with them using an authentic, trauma-informed, strength-based approach, often in partnership with colleagues at our Close to Home Programs (Barbara Blum, Rose House, & Aftercare NSP). In addition to providing weekly emotional support, Coaches help young people make progress toward their academic, career development, housing/independent living, and other life goals. When a young person is unsure of their goals/interests, Coaches help them explore and expose them to potential opportunities. They then help young people connect to schools, programs, and opportunities in line with their goals/interests, persist in those settings, and plan/prepare for the next step on their journey. Coaches celebrate young peoples progress; if something doesn't work out, Coaches help young people reflect and connect to the next opportunity.
