Would you like a career that changes lives while working with a team built on shared values? Look no further! At Youth In Need, we value community and relationships. We encourage courageous spaces, leaning into discomfort, and stretching your learning muscles. As an Infant Toddler Support Teacher, you'll create a warm, welcoming classroom environment that helps children reach their highest potential while partnering with parents and your colleagues to help make this happen.

You'll show exemplary Infant/Toddler responsive care, while demonstrating classroom management skills, lesson planning and developmentally appropriate practice.

Our Company

Youth In Need has been around since 1974 helping to create safe places for the area's most vulnerable children. We have more than 400 full- and part-time staff who serve more than 8,000 children, teens and families at nearly 100 locations in six counties in Eastern Missouri.

Youth In Need has been named a St. Louis Post-Dispatch Top Workplace for seven straight years. We are nationally recognized by the US Department of Health and Human Services as an exemplary program. We value social justice and are dedicated to enhancing racial equity in our organization.

Our Commitment To Racial Equity

Racial equity, diversity and inclusion are core institutional values for Youth In Need, and we commit to developing an organization that is affirming, inclusive and equitable. Equity drives excellence. In that pursuit, we widen our focus to confront the structural inequities and systemic racism that impact our clients' well-being.

Youth In Need is accountable to our clients, our employees, our contributors and our community to fully live into our vision of all children having equitable opportunities so they can thrive. We strive to better educate, empower, and equip children, youth and families, and to nurture our staff community as we execute our mission.

Youth In Need will take a broad approach to equity, by seeking out the voices of our community members, including those who have historically been underrepresented. As a process, we will embed inclusion and equity into our services, operations, and decision-making. With curiosity and humility, Youth In Need will engage, listen and learn.

Together, we stand against injustice in all its forms because it inflicts deep harm on all of us and most importantly, on the children and youth we promise to serve.
