About The Position

Family & Children’s Services is seeking a Youth Care Coordinator to provide targeted support services and youth-centered Systems of Care (SOC). SOC coordinates mental health and community services around the needs of children and families impacted by trauma, with the goal of preventing out-of-home placements and surrounding families with support and resources.
