Community Passageways What We Stand For We exist to eliminate the need for the criminal legal system for youth and young adults. To do this, we create alternatives to incarceration for youth and young adults based on committed relationships centered on love, compassion, and consistency. We use community to heal community, planting seeds of hope, self-respect and vision to unlock the promise of our youth while fighting to dismantle the systems of oppression that threaten to take that promise away.

Why We Matter Over the last 20 years, we have seen a sharp decline in the number of young people in detention across King County. But even as the overall number decreased, our juvenile legal system has had an increasingly and disproportionately harmful impact on youth of color, particularly Black youth. While only 10% of King County’s 2 million residents are Black, they now make up almost half of the detention population on any given day and more than half of felony offenses. Who We Are We are a family born from the community we serve. The lived experiences of staff prepare them to act as credible messengers and Ambassadors. Our Ambassadors work with heart, humility, and compassion to lead community and school-based healing circles, individual and family case management, court advocacy, and youth leadership opportunities. Job Description Summary of Position Reporting to the Community Safety Manager and working in partnership with the Resource Navigator team as part of a comprehensive Care Team, Community Safety Ambassadors build rapport and trust with participants.

Community Engagement and Outreach: Leverage credibility in the community to disrupt the cycle of violence, participate in planning and staffing outreach and community engagement, and facilitate mediation to prevent violence and retaliation. Other: Participate in meetings, maintain confidentiality, and perform other duties as assigned. Requirements
