What You'll Do
 
YWCA Seattle | King | Snohomish is on a mission to eliminate racism and empower women. Through housing, advocacy, and supportive services, YWCA partners with families and communities to build stability, opportunity, and belonging. Children’s Services plays a critical role in this work by supporting children and youth impacted by housing instability and systemic inequities.
 
The Youth & Family Advocate – Computer Lab Support is a trauma-informed, child- and family-centered advocacy role that supports children, youth, and caregivers living in YWCA housing programs. This position centers on advocacy, relationship-building, and coordination with families, schools, and community partners to reduce barriers to stability, education, and wellbeing.
 
The role also includes responsibility for supporting a small, structured computer lab during after-school hours.
