What You'll Do At YWCA, we believe that strong families are the foundation of strong communities. The Project Reunite Family Advocate provides structured, goal-oriented casework to families residing in transitional housing who are currently engaged in the DCFY system and working toward reunification. This role supports family members experiencing substance use disorder challenges and coordinates supportive services during their participation in the program. Note: This is not a hybrid role — it requires 100% onsite presence. YWCA encourages applicants with a variety of experiences to apply! At YWCA, we recognize that lived expertise is a powerful asset. This refers to the insights, knowledge, and skills developed by those who have navigated systems and experienced inequity. Valuing lived expertise helps build trust with program participants, develop culturally responsive programs, and break down barriers to equity. It enriches our collective understanding and enhances our ability to serve communities that are furthest from opportunity. Mental Health Considerations All employees of the YWCA interact with clients who have experienced or are experiencing trauma in various forms, including but not limited to, racial trauma, domestic violence, sexual violence, homelessness, unemployment, and financial hardship. As a result, employees are at risk of secondary trauma. We encourage employees to seek support inside and outside the workplace and maintain self-care routines.
