EMPLOYMENT
Friends of the Children is committed to the communities we serve, to equal employment opportunity, and to diversity in our workplace.
Friends Austin is the only Texas chapter of the 25 year-old national organization and we launched in Fall 2017. We are currently working with 32 first grade students from three East Austin schools and will be adding new students within the next year. We are seeking to hire five extraordinary individuals to serve as a Friend to eight children. Friends develop intensive, long-term, trusting relationships with the highest risk children and spend four hours per week with each child. Friends report directly to the Program Director. This position is ideal for an individual who has significant experience working with vulnerable youth, may be bilingual in Spanish, has an associate’s or bachelor’s degree, is culturally competent and trauma informed, superior scheduling and time management skills and has data entry and database management skills. The positions are full-time, paid, provide full benefits and would be part of a collaborative and friendly workplace.
