Full Job Description

Summary of Position

The purpose of the Older Youth Readiness Program is to: 1. help youth in foster care establish safe and meaningful connections to relationships lost while in foster care; 2. link youth with meaningful resources; and 3. establish new opportunities to help youth transition out of foster care and into successful and healthy adults. The program assists youth age 13 – 24 with navigating and obtaining access to the relevant services necessary to achieve well-being. Youth guide the service plan process which directs the pathway to develop strong relationships with the goal of achieving interdependence.

The Older Youth Readiness Navigator helps the youth and caregiver drive the service plan to completion by navigating systems and overcoming barriers. The Navigator acts as care coordination consultant, collaborating with and organizing multiple systems tailored to the youth’s specific plan. This may include some or all of the following:

Family and community navigation to connect youth to safe and appropriate family and friends to establish a caring community who will help guide the youth through young adulthood.
Mental health services navigation to include the Department of Mental Health, BJC, Hopewell, Easter Seals, etc. Youth will experience continuity of mental health services or secure first-time services.
Life Skills systems navigation to include service beyond those offered by Chafee, such as Easter Seals Midwest, St. Louis ARC, Bridges, etc. for household maintenance, meal planning, personal care, etc.
Disability services navigation to connect youth who qualify with benefits when they transition to independence.
Affordable housing navigation to guide youth through the complex intersection of housing vouchers, eligible housing opportunities, as well as practical concerns such as location and accessibility to meet life, work, and family needs.
Workforce development navigation to include the Department of Vocational Rehabilitation, STL Community College, SLATE, etc. (the goal is a living wage). Youth will receive an assessment for interest and suitability, be connected with resources to start on that path, and secure relevant supports to ensure the youth is able to sustain employment.
Placement stability navigation for youth living in a foster home. Youth will receive placement navigation services to ensure they are in a home which will meet their physical, mental, behavioral, emotional, and cultural needs.
Transition services navigation to best ensure that upon emancipation, youth will not lose access to their therapeutic services, doctor, dentist, pharmacy, medication, or any other needed support during their transition to independence.

The role requires flexibility, with up to 40% of work hours occurring in the late afternoon, early evening, or occasional weekends to meet youth where they are. All services are delivered with a focus on cultural responsiveness, trauma-informed care, and promising practices to achieve positive outcomes.
