Full-time
- Lighthouse MI is a growing non-profit, established in 2019 when Lighthouse of Oakland County and South Oakland Shelter joined forces to offer a stronger collective response to poverty in our Metro Detroit community.
- The Youth Outreach and Engagement Coordinator helps organize, lead, and grow efforts to connect with and support young people, ages 10-24, who are experiencing homelessness or at-risk of running away.
- As part of Lighthouse’s Runaway and Homeless Youth (RHY) team, this position helps develop and implement effective outreach and promotional strategies to identify and engage youth who may be in need of services, resources, and support.
- Provide youth with street- and event-based services, such as basic needs items and emergency referrals, while building a trusting rapport with youth through Positive Youth Development, trauma-informed, culturally-competent, and harm reduction approaches.
- Conduct mobile street outreach – working in pairs whenever possible – through various means to canvass areas where unaccompanied youth frequent, including recreation centers, libraries, transit centers, parks, malls, and other locations.
