YSS
The Self-Sufficiency Advocate provides mentorship, advocacy, and steady support to young adults aged 18–21 who have aged out of foster care or are eligible for PAL services. This part-time, fully remote role involves traveling to northwestern Iowa counties to help participants build stability, confidence, and independence through case management, safety assessments, and coordinated care. The advocate works closely with community partners to ensure compliance, documentation, and access to essential services like housing, education, and healthcare.
YSS is one of Iowa's oldest and largest nonprofits, empowering youth and families for over 50 years through shelter, counseling, mental health services, and life skills programs. The organization operates initiatives including homeless youth services, residential addiction treatment (Ember Recovery), foster care advocacy, and opioid prevention education. YSS serves tens of thousands of youth and families each year across Iowa with a mission of putting kids first.
