YSNs work with youth 12 to 24 through direct and consistent 1-to-1 navigation by:

  • Identifying immediate barriers and concerns related to overall health and wellbeing or housing/homelessness

  • Connecting youth to short and long term supports for healthy transition to adulthood

  • Preventing entry into or further homelessness through enhanced individual and family support

  • Providing advocacy for clients in accessing and navigating services to meet goals

  • Providing education about available resources (inclusionary criteria, wait times, cost, etc.)

  • Collaborating with other youth serving agencies, family and natural supports to provide integrated services for youth

  • Providing appropriate referrals that are tailored to youth and case consultation when necessary

The YSNs also collect information on community trends, research & training/information on best practices for how to mitigate trends to build capacity within the community.

This is part of the mandatory training for Tier 2 System Navigators.
