About The Position

Founded as an orphanage in 1910. David & Margaret Youth and Family Services has a proud tradition of serving children and families in need that stretches over a century. David & Margaret Youth and Family Services empowers children, youth, and families through culturally diverse services that foster emotional, educational, spiritual, and identity development. We are currently seeking energetic, enthusiastic and motivated bilingual monolingual youth counselors for our short stay campus and group home residential program. This is not an STRTP: The Counselors are very important members of the team of employees concerned with the youth we serve. They must come to the position with a great amount of dedication, acceptance, and understanding. Counselors are expected to work closely with the program therapists and are under the direction of the Counselor Supervisors and Senior Counselors. Support of agency rules and policy is essential. No employee in the facility has a greater responsibility to set a proper example for the youth we serve than the Counselor. They must always conduct themselves with dignity and self respect and follow our values of care.
