Youth Support Navigators (YSN) work with youth ages 12 to 24 to provide direct and consistent one to one 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

Youth Priority Population training

Youth Support Navigators provide specific training and educational opportunities to community organizations and System Navigators to ensure that all members of our system can support youth in a way that meets their unique needs.
