JOB DESCRIPTION & PURPOSE

Life Push, LLC is on the lookout for driven, qualified candidates ready to join a company that's changing outcomes for at-risk youth and their families. We're expanding our team and hiring a new Holistic Youth & Family Advisor (HYFA) to serve communities in Lynchburg, Appomattox County, Campbell County, Amherst County, and the surrounding areas. This role kicks off as part-time, with a clear runway to full-time as our team and caseload grow.

Supporting family reunification efforts when applicable, working toward safe, sustainable outcomes

Supporting each youth's right to self-determination and independence, while accepting and relating to youth whose lifestyles or values may differ from your own
