The Certified Peer Outreach Community Safety Case Manager will be a part of the Y’s Violence Prevention Department and will serve the community’s youth through responding to episodes of violence, building relationships with youth involved in gangs, violence and the juvenile justice system, building and strengthening neighborhood safety, restoring and rebuilding community connections, offering youth resources for self-sufficiency, and promoting neighborhood pride and ownership.

This position will locate and build relationships with youth throughout King County and connect them to resources and services. This position is with the Y Social Impact Center, the social services division of the YMCA of Greater Seattle (YGS), serving around 5,000 youth, young adults, and families every year in communities across King County, Pierce County, and various counties across WA.

Through our programs we aim to strengthen young people’s ability to develop to their fullest potential through four strategies: reducing risk factors; navigating systems towards successful life transition; establishing stability, safety and wellness in times of crisis; and building competencies and social capital. The Social Impact Center’s programs include homelessness prevention, housing, behavioral health, crisis response, foster care licensing, violence prevention, and employment.

Since many of the young people we serve have been involved in the foster care, criminal justice, behavioral health, and/or homelessness systems, we truly value relatable lived experience of our staff and those applying for our positions as an asset.
