Youth Counselor (Youth Development Specialist) - Full Time

About Us:

Northwest Passage has been a leading non-profit residential mental health organization since 1978, serving a diverse range of youth including those who identify as LGBTQ, youth of color, and youth who are neuro-diverse. We believe that every child possesses profound strength and potential and is capable of thriving. While blending traditional mental health treatment with arts and nature-based therapy, we create conditions that unleash inner strength, ultimately empowering our clients to re-write their inner narratives through a lens of hope. We also believe that relationships are the key element in a healing journey; our kids re-connect and re-engage with their life through meaningful, authentic relationships with our staff. The Youth Development Specialist position represents one of the central relationships for clients in the constellation of therapeutic activities and life at Northwest Passage.

Though the problems facing children and teens have evolved since 1978, the fundamental needs for self-respect, trust, relationships, and steady guidance remain the same. And while Northwest Passage has grown in size and sophistication, we’ve never lost sight of the foundations all children need to be successful. Above anything else, Northwest Passage’s goal is to restore hope in our clients.

Northwest Passage’s facilities are nestled within the wild landscapes and idyllic small towns of Northwest Wisconsin.

Position Description:

Innovative programming is part of our organization’s cultural fabric. You will be given the freedom and mentorship to design and implement your own programming initiatives. This is an ideal position both for those seeking a career at Northwest Passage, as well as those looking for a stepping stone to graduate school or other professional paths. Many who entered Northwest Passage as a Youth Development Specialist are now leaders both within the organization and in the field of mental health.

Hours are Monday-Friday 2:30pm-10:30pm.

Duties include the following:

Create and maintain a structured and safe living environment for youth as they participate in assessment/treatment.

Communication and interpersonal skills to work effectively with clients, staff, and others
