YOU Turns Strategic Coordinator – Tantramar Regional High School catchment

YOU Turns

YOU Turns believes that success and hope are different for everyone, and that youth need and deserve authentic, trusting relationships that are caring and motivating. By collaborating with over 40 government departments and community agencies, we connect youth to the people and resources they need to feel supported and to live a better life.

Since 2012, YOU Turns has become a key support option for many parents, schools, and agencies that connect with at-risk youth. YOU Turns currently helps youth by identifying and addressing gaps in service and supports in the Greater Moncton Area, Tantramar Region, Miramichi and St-Louis-de-Kent via three school districts.

Strategic Coordinators

The role of the Strategic Coordinator is to focus on the development and functioning of students by creating circles of care through collaboration and communication with the school ESS team and community partners to foster a sense of connection and belonging for the student and family to reduce or negate the rate of absenteeism. The Strategic Coordinator is the connector between school and community to ensure a student’s needs are met in a confidential and timely manner to promote individual hope and success in school and life for the youth. Strategic Coordinators often work with young people who refuse services or who are unable to succeed in the existing framework of services and programs.

Strategic Coordinators have the flexibility to work off-campus and during transition times, including the summer when many youth services tend to drop off. Working with our partners, Coordinators can propose strategies and initiatives to fill gaps in programming. This innovative team achieves success with those most at-risk.

We are currently seeking a Strategic Coordinator to work in the catchment area of Tantramar Regional High School.
