What it requires and the qualities
we seek in our employees
Our three decades of success are rooted in unwavering professional pride and service. Joining us will be one of the most challenging, yet profoundly meaningful career opportunities you will encounter. As an innovative and fast-paced organisation, you will need abundant creative stamina and emotional resilience.
Those who assume this work is simply about hanging out with or challenging and changing young people, without embracing the challenges to their own personal and professional growth quickly find themselves falling short. You will need to ask yourself, "What am I prepared to do in my act of service to truly and consistently meet the needs of the young clients?" If you envision fitting your role neatly into a conventional 9-5 Monday-Friday framework, then our organisation, the young adult clients we serve, and the contexts we engage in, will not align with your expectations.
However, if they really do, and you are someone who can push beyond your comfort zone, continually seek challenges, and aspire to be part of a pioneering team and international movement aiming to disrupt the cycle of urban violence, poverty, discrimination, and inequality experienced by inner-city young adults - we invite you to reach out and contact us at careers@streetsofgrowth.org
