Guide to Youth Coordinator Position

Have you ever had an important task that you needed to complete, but with no idea how to do it, and knew you had to do it without any guidance, outline, or instructions?

This is the typical life of a Transitional Aged Youth, struggling towards self-sufficiency. Securing housing; transportation; healthcare; navigating public systems, such as the public health system, mental health system, the foster care system, juvenile justice system; management of medical conditions, trauma; avoiding homelessness, early pregnancy, low education, and even early death - are just some of what a Transitional Aged youth is faced with.

Despite this experience, TAY are still tasked with taking care of themselves, and figuring out how to survive, with little guidance, support, or experience. You may also find others asking you on advice for working with TAY and young professionals.
