About The Position

The ARCh Program is rooted in a belief that every young person deserves to feel safe, seen, and supported. As a Community-Based Interventionist, you’ll build trusting, non-judgmental relationships that help youth develop emotional confidence, social connection, and daily living skills on their own terms, and at their own pace. Our work emphasizes consistency, openness, reflection, and new experiences that promote self-assurance and real-world growth. We meet youth in their communities not to fix or manage, but to model, encourage, and walk alongside them. This work is as much about relationship building and mutual growth as it is about skills.
