By following these core principles, Colorado Qualifying House supports youth in developing the skills and resources necessary to lead self-determined lives without experiencing the barriers of future systems involvement. Our trauma-informed approach emphasizes collaborative growth and recognizes that every person – staff and youth alike – has goals that we can collectively use our knowledge and experiences to mutually support.

They will assess the day’s needs and work with the team to identify leads for each task, and ensure completion according to the specifications required by licensing and shown to have the greatest success in implementation. This includes the morning cadence (wake up, chores, physical education), participating in work, school, or community service, and the evening cadence (dinner, positive skill development groups, and leisure time before bed). We strongly believe in the importance of Continuous Quality Improvement, and are looking for an active partner eager to help the site find the best methods and approaches for exceeding our goals – as staff, youth, and the program as a whole. This Group Supervisor will work on A Shift (Sunday – Wednesday afternoon) and have a Coach Counselor and Night Coach Counselor as direct reports. All on-site staff (including the Teacher, Program Manager, and other support staff throughout the day) are charged with the safety, care, and around-the-clock supervision of students in the program. Most of the time the Group Supervisor will be at the Qualifying House in Idaho Springs, with consistent community outings in Clear Creek County and the greater Denver Metro area (volunteering with the local Elks Lodge, going to museums, hikes & ski trips, etc). This role will work with the team to make sure regardless of location or programming (at the house, working in community, going on field trips) there is active supervision and support provided to the youth according to licensing requirements and in line with student needs.

• I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essentials facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.” - Henry David Thoreau
