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.

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.
In the last three years, Community Passageways has worked with nearly 200 young people with felony charges with the aim of diverting their charges and keeping them in the community. In the end, most of them spent no time in detention and the average young person saw an 80% reduction in their length of sentence. The young people kept in the community through their dedication and our support have gone on to enroll in college, start businesses, graduate from high school, and help rebuild our communities.
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
Community Passageways is seeking a passionate and dedicated individual for the role of Deep Dive Community Ambassador and Resource Navigator. This role is crucial in supporting and mentoring youth and young adults (YYA) aged 14-27 who have been impacted by the criminal legal system and are at risk of gun violence. The ideal candidate will guide these individuals towards personal and community betterment, focusing on resilience against gun violence and nurturing future leaders through comprehensive programming. This position will report to the Deep Dive Program Manager.
Schedule: Monday – Friday, evenings, or as needed; 24/7 availability for participant support
Key Responsibilities
Relationship-Building & Mentorship
Build and maintain strong, consistent relationships with participants. Engage young men in community spaces, at their homes, and wherever they feel comfortable. Support participants through challenges related to violence, family conflict, housing instability, legal issues, and community dynamics. Encourage progress through accountability, trust, and positive modeling.
Case Management & Documentation
Conduct weekly check-ins and keep detailed case notes on participant interactions and progress. Help participants meet basic needs and work toward educational, housing, and personal goals. Assist participants in navigating systems such as court, school, healthcare, and social services.
Street Outreach & Crisis Response
Stay present in neighborhoods and community spaces to engage participants and monitor safety concerns. Respond quickly to critical incidents involving participants. Provide conflict support or de-escalation when issues arise. Stay informed about neighborhood tensions, street activity, and potential risks.
Participant Safety & Boundaries
Use clear and respectful communication, especially over text and phone. Maintain professional boundaries and be mindful not to engage in unsafe situations. Operate with intention when entering high-risk environments or supporting participants in real-time crises.
Going Beyond Relationships
Support young people with real, tangible progress—not just conversation. Push for change in thinking and behavior patterns through consistent modeling and direct conversations. Make sure participants have what they need to take the next step—whether that’s a ride to court, help with a move, or support after a violent event.
Additional Responsibilities
Engage in assigned meetings, maintain confidentiality, and fulfill other duties as required.
Requirements
Qualifications:
Experience working with at-risk youth, particularly those involved in the criminal legal system. Knowledge of the challenges faced by BIPOC communities in Seattle. Strong understanding of trauma-informed care, asset-based approaches, and various therapeutic methodologies. Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build trust and rapport. Cultural competency and sensitivity to diverse populations.
