Safe Place for Youth (SPY) is opening more housing! We're expanding to provide safe, supportive housing for youth in our community. Join us as we take this next step in our mission!

Safe Place for Youth (SPY) is the leading service provider for youth experiencing or at-risk of homelessness in West Los Angeles. Founded in 2011, our agency offers trauma-informed, low barrier programs that support young people in exiting the streets and achieving stability so that they can thrive, not just survive. Our robust continuum of care includes street outreach, drop-in services, health and wellness programming, case management, education and employment services, and housing programs.

SPY is a unique social impact agency that is committed to overcoming structural barriers to equity, community collaboration, and innovative youth-focused programming. If you have the skills, passion and collaborative spirit, join our growing team of over 100 employees.

SPY strives to attract and develop individuals who reflect a broad spectrum of diversity, including (but by no means limited to) racial, ethnic, gender identity and socioeconomic dimensions. We believe that inclusion of diverse perspectives is essential to achieving long-term, systemic change. We explicitly seek applications from those who self-identify as coming from historically marginalized populations to enrich and elevate our equity-centered approach to problem-solving.

As a team member of The Nest Family Housing program, the Site Coordinator provides essential services and support to pregnant and parenting transitional age youth (TAY) who live in our transitional housing program. This position is assigned to the Plymouth site and monitors site safety and youth services. The Site Coordinator is responsible for general oversight of the property, cleanliness, safety, and maintenance.

Additionally, the Site Coordinator builds rapport with youth, provides advocacy, coordinates activities/workshops/events, and provides crisis intervention and conflict management. The Site Coordinator works closely with their team and other SPY programs to provide the best services to our youth. The ideal candidate will have a strong understanding of the various factors that contribute to youth experiencing homelessness. Specific knowledge or experience related to youth pregnancy and parenting is ideal.
