Description Agency Description

Nevada Partnership for Homeless Youth (NPHY) is the most comprehensive service provider for the thousands of young people experiencing homelessness in Southern Nevada, serving hundreds of youth through our core programs and touching the lives of thousands more through outreach each year. NPHY’s programs stabilize homeless teens' lives, meeting their immediate needs and providing a safe, supportive environment and a path to self-sufficiency.

Strengthening and complementing our high-quality direct services, NPHY is dedicated to advocating for this population and serves as a leader in systems-level efforts to eliminate homelessness among all Nevada’s youth.

NPHY offers a positive, mission-driven work environment: we encourage each staff member to cultivate their unique talents and training and come together as a strong, synergistic team to better serve homeless young people. While working in a challenging yet rewarding field, you will be surrounded by compassionate, energetic, fun, happy, and friendly staff members who are like-minded and love what they do.

In addition to everyday interactions with youth, NPHY offers countless opportunities for youth and staff to experience new and fun things together to help the NPHY family create stronger bonds and model positive relationships and healthy boundaries with the young people we serve. NPHY also offers quarterly training to better equip our staff with up-to-date continuing education, skills, and resources to best serve and respond to a wide array of situations and needs.

NPHY doesn’t just accept diversity—we celebrate it, support it, and thrive on it for the benefit of our employees, clients, programs, and community. NPHY is proud to be an Equal Opportunity workplace and is dedicated to maintaining a welcoming, respectful, and supportive workplace where every employee, volunteer, and client feels valued. We seek to build a team that reflects the communities we serve and the young people whose lives we aim to change for the better.

Under the supervision of the Community Engagement Manager, the Nevada Partnership for Homeless Youth’s (NPHY) Outreach Coordinator is responsible for implementing and coordinating the day-to-day operations of NPHY’s Outreach Program. As part of NPHY’s comprehensive continuum of services for homeless youth, NPHY goes directly to the streets to provide homeless and at-risk youth with life-sustaining supplies and vital information and referrals, to schools and other locations frequented by youth to arm at-risk youth with information to prevent homelessness, and out into the community at large to raise awareness about this critical issue.

As an integral component of our outreach efforts, NPHY also offers 24-7-365 mobile crisis intervention services through our Safe Place program, extending an entry point to our programs to virtually every street corner in Southern Nevada. NPHY's Outreach Program is often the first point of contact homeless youth have with the resources that can assist them in changing their lives.

The goals of NPHY's Outreach Coordinator are to provide at-risk youth with information to prevent homelessness, get youth experiencing homelessness support via direct connections to NPHY's programs, and support the Community Development & Engagement department's efforts to raise awareness about this critical issue by providing information and conducting community outreach.

In order to accomplish these goals, NPHY’s Outreach Coordinator will be responsible for three major and interrelated components of NPHY’s Outreach Program: youth outreach, community outreach, and Safe Place coordination.
