Are you passionate about helping youth and families achieve their greatest potential? Do you want to make a real difference in your community? Come join our team as a Middle School Liaison! PSG/CIP is a community-based social services organization looking for talented professionals like you to join our Youth Outreach team.

The Youth Outreach program is a partnership between Kenosha County DCFS and Kenosha Unified School District. The program utilizes liaisons at multiple middle and high schools within KUSD to support youth at-risk for academic failure, dropout, truancy, and delinquency. Many of the identified youth are also at risk for gang involvement as well as alcohol and drug abuse. As the Middle School Liaison, you will provide support, guidance, and prosocial activities to assist assigned students in learning new skills. Over the summer, Liaisons will support the Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP).
