Description
Good Shepherd Services (GSS) operates 100 programs, which help over 30,000 youth and family members in struggling neighborhoods throughout New York City. All GSS programs are united by a common goal—to create opportunities that help our participants succeed at school, at home, and in their community.
The GSV may provide a full array of in-person services and support including: case management, counseling, advocacy, self-sufficiency counseling, as well as child-related services or support to domestic violence (DV) survivors and their children who reside at, a 20-bed emergency DV shelter in Brooklyn. The GSV will collaborate in-person with on-site GSS staff to ensure the smooth day-to-day operation of the residence where a trauma-focused, anti-racist, and youth and family development approach is implemented amongst all staff and participants. Some virtual services may also be provided during the pandemic when public health issues remain a concern.
