Full Job Description

Position Overview

Roca’s work is based on the theory that young people, when re-engaged through positive and intensive relationships, can change their behaviors and develop life, education, and employment skills to disrupt the cycles of poverty and incarceration. Roca’s Intervention Model engages the highest-risk 16-24 year olds in a long-term process of behavior change and skill building opportunities. Understanding that meaningful change doesn’t happen overnight, we deliver an Intervention Model that is four years long and allows for relapse during the process. We know that lasting change requires a safe space to grow and to flex newly acquired decision-making skills. If a young person is seeking change or can make it through our model without relapsing, then they are not a candidate for Roca and can likely be served by a less intense program.

The Youth Worker will report to the Assistant Director of the Roca Springfield Young Mothers Program and have the primary responsibility of engaging 20-25 very high-risk young mothers through relationships and programming as well as working with community partners (DCF, Probation, Early Intervention, and other community-based providers) in Springfield, Holyoke and the surrounding communities. The successful Youth worker will work closely with team members, supervisors, and others within the organization to ensure that each young person is driving to outcomes of economic independence and living out of harm’s way. We strive to meet short and intermediate term outcomes for Young Mothers including but not limited to: Increased Gains in Emotional Regulation, Increased Utilization of Early Childhood Services, Reduced Negative Systems Involvement, and in the long term: No Re-Incarcerations and Retained Employment.

Ensure accurate and timely entry of case notes into ETO (Efforts to Outcome system) daily.
Act as a Crew Supervisor and manage a work crew, when needed.
Analyze and interpret ETO data as it relates to young people and understanding how data relates to a young person’s progress.
Ability to adapt outreach efforts in accordance of data collected in ETO.
Other duties as assigned.

Specific Job Responsibilities

Maintain a caseload of young people and build transformation relationships in alignment with Roca’s intervention model.
Demonstrate the ability to provide additional types of educational/vocational/life skills programming, in person and virtually, e.g. educational classes, ServSafe, upgraded workforce professional skills, parenting and child development, healthy habits, driver’s education, and/or the ability to help with job placement.
