About The Position

Youth Villages is hiring a Family Intervention Specialist for Intercept®, an evidence-based, intensive in-home program that works to keep families together by preventing out-of-home placements or facilitating reunification. The program serves youth from birth to age 18 who face serious emotional or behavioral challenges or have experienced trauma, including abuse or neglect.
