Do you want to make a difference? Lodestar is looking for passionate, understanding, and inspiring individuals to provide services to youth between the ages of 5-21 who are dealing with mental health challenges. We are hoping to make a positive mark on the lives of children that will be remembered and utilized in their futures.
Description: Support 2-5 children in need towards achieving optimal functioning as a 1:1 worker in homes and communities. Work occurs in a variety of settings where the child lives, works, attends school, engages in services, and/or socializes. Common tasks include supporting skill development, teaching personalized coping strategies (such as anger management and desensitization), and improving effective communication.
