- Youth Work Experience: At least 2 years of experience working with youth ages 14 and older.
- Availability & Logistics: Available Mon–Thu after-school hours; willing to travel to multiple sites across Houston and surrounding areas (reliable vehicle, valid driver's license, and current liability insurance required).
- Tech Requirements: Access to a personal computer and Microsoft Teams.
- Key Traits: Patience, empathy, schedule flexibility, and a strong ability to connect with youth from diverse backgrounds.
