Overview

Youth Development Coach – (Full-time)

Mission:  

Safe Passages disrupts the cycle of poverty by engaging youth and families to build and drive a continuum of services that supports student success and community development. 

We envision a community where all young people have the opportunity to realize their full potential. Safe Passages’ work is based on the premises that access to educational opportunity, health services, and family support, should not be dictated by race or socio-economic status, and when young people have the health and support, they need, they are better prepared and equipped to not only learn, but to succeed.
