Why work at YouthLink?

Innovation: YouthLink is dedicated to helping youth exit homelessness. With that goal in mind, our approach is uniquely data-driven and founded on research that has helped to form the Guiding Principles under which all YouthLink programs operate. In short, we know what works, and we have the evidence to back it up. Find out more about our Nine Guiding Principles here.

Community: The Youth Opportunity Center at YouthLink, a first-of-its-kind facility, brings many community partners on-site to make vital resources available for youth in one convenient location. At YouthLink, we work closely with our onsite partners to provide efficient and effective interventions, building a highly collaborative community of support around our clients.
