Youth Development Specialist - Boston, United States - Boston Public Health Commission
Description
The mission of the Boston Public Health Commission (BPHC) is to protect, preserve, and promote the health and wellbeing of all Boston residents, particularly the most vulnerable.
The BPHC envisions a thriving Boston where all residents live healthy, fulfilling lives free of racism, poverty, violence, and other systems of oppression.
The BPHC sets an expectation that all staff and leadership commit, individually and as part of the BPHC team, to hold ourselves accountable to establishing a culture of antiracism and advance racial equity and justice through each of our bureaus, programs, and offices.
PROGRAM/DEPARTMENT DESCRIPTION
The Youth Development Network (YDN) is a program in the Child and Adolescent Health Division (CAHD) in the Child, Adolescent and Family Health Bureau of the Boston Public Health Commission.
In partnership with Boston Public Schools (BPS), YDN works to increase school attendance and engagement for young people experiencing or at risk of chronic absenteeism.
YDN believes that all youth can achieve their fullest potential with the support of caring adults and is founded on research that places education as a key socialdeterminant of health and other quality life issues, especially in marginalized communities. YDN's goal is to reconnect chronically absent youth to their learning and to a network of support.
The Youth Development Specialist directly works with young people to provide case management services. They are embedded in one of three partner BPS Highschool (Brighton, Jeremiah E. Burke, Madison Park Technical and Vocational School) and work to engage young people and their families to school.
Youth Development Specialists hold one on one meetings with students, deliver educational interventions during the school day, after school, and during summer, and conduct home visits as necessary.
