Are you energized by meaningful work that strengthens communities and improves outcomes for youth and families? Do you enjoy being on the move, building relationships, and supporting a team that is preparing professionals and caregivers to make a real difference in youth justice?
The Children’s Law Center is seeking a dynamic and highly organized Training Program Assistant who is excited about both purpose-driven work and the flexibility of travel.
