Full Job Description

Function:

The EnlightenMENT Peer Navigator has lived experience in foster care and provides mentorship and support to youth and young adults (YYA) ages 14–21 currently involved in the child welfare system. Serving as a credible messenger, the Peer Navigator builds authentic, trusting relationships and supports YYA in navigating systems, strengthening connections, and preparing for adulthood. Peer Navigators work with youth across a range of permanency goals, including reunification, adoption, kinship legal guardianship, and independent living. Through individualized, goal-oriented mentorship, they support YYA in building communication, self-advocacy, and decision-making skills while connecting them to supportive relationships and community resources. The Peer Navigator plays a key role in helping young people recognize and build on their strengths, supporting their growth, independence, and overall well-being. This role is community-based and requires flexibility to meet with YYA during after-school, evening, and weekend hours. Peer Navigators participate in weekly supervision and monthly clinical consultation to support their professional development and service delivery. The Peer Navigator is not a therapist or case manager but works alongside professionals to enhance youth engagement and outcomes.

Responsibilities:

Engagement

Builds and maintains trusting relationships with YYA by honoring their pace, readiness, and preferences
Encourages consistent engagement by creating opportunities for re-engagement without judgment
Establishes and maintains appropriate boundaries, clearly communicating expectations and obtaining consent when engaging in activities or sharing information
Uses lived experience appropriately to support YYA goals while maintaining a balance between sharing and active listening.
Provides clear, honest, and developmentally appropriate information about situations, options, and available supports
Models healthy behaviors and reinforces positive decision-making
Documents interactions accurately and in alignment with program expectations

Empowerment and Skill Building

Provides clear, honest, and developmentally appropriate information about situations, options, and available supports
Supports the development of communication, self-advocacy, and problem-solving skills
Implements skill-building activities (e.g., role play, scenario practice) to strengthen readiness and confidence
Models and reinforces coping, self-care, and decision-making strategies
Encourages YYA to actively participate in meetings and speak for themselves in appropriate settings
Provides constructive, strengths-based feedback to support growth and learning
Supports YYA in identifying goals and taking steps toward independence
Connection
Supports YYA in identifying, accessing, and utilizing community resources aligned with their goals
Maintains up-to-date knowledge of local resources, services, and opportunities
Connects YYA to educational, vocational, and supportive services as appropriate
Builds and maintains relationships with community partners, including schools, community organizations, and service providers
Assists YYA in strengthening relationships with supportive adults, peers, and networks

Qualifications/ Requirements:

Minimum of a High School Diploma or GED required
Must have lived experience in the child welfare system
Peer navigators are considered “near peers” and must be able to build authentic, relatable relationships with youth and young adults.
Recommended to have a closed CP&P case and no longer receiving services. This supports readiness for the role, professional boundaries, and reduces the risk of re-traumatization.
Valid driver’s license in good standing, good driving history;
Basic computer proficiency in Microsoft Office, Outlook, Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Excel
Basic organizational skills and strong oral communication skills
Ability to work both independently and as part of a team
Understand the impact of culture, race, and lived experience on youth development
Ability to work effectively with youth with diverse needs and abilities
Willingness to actively participate in supervision and ongoing professional development
Ability to manage schedules, appointments, and documentation requirements
Willingness to speak publicly and participate in training, as appropriate
Must have the flexibility to work a non-traditional work schedule, including after-school, evening, and weekends
Other relevant duties as assigned.
