National Youth Advocate Program

NATIONAL YOUTH ADVOCATE PROGRAM (NYAP) is a private, non-profit agency that has a non-negotiable commitment to do what is best for children, youth and their families. PARENT ADVOCATE CONNECTIONS (PAC) program provides mentoring services to parents involved with the Child Welfare system. Mentoring is a structured, one-to-one relationship where trained mentors cultivate informal, caring relationships with their mentees in order to role model and influence the development of positive parenting and household management. The ultimate goal of the PAC program is to strengthen parents ability to care for their children in order to prevent placement of children in foster care, or other alternative placement, and to help families live productively and successfully in the community.We are actively looking for individuals who are open to sharing their parenting skills, life experiences and open communication skills with parents and families who need their support and guidance.
