The purpose of the StandUp for Kids Houston mentoring program is to fill a gap in early intervention for high school students who are experiencing homelessness, at risk of homelessness, or unaccompanied. The initial aim of the school-based mentoring program is to ensure that students who are already experiencing housing difficulties have resources to help them graduate high school, with the goal of offering support to youth for long-term economic stability.
StandUp for Kids Houston is looking for a Program Director to implement and lead this in-school program.

Mission Statement
The mission is to end the cycle of youth homelessness throughout the United States. We do this, every day, in cities across America. We carry out our mission through our volunteers who go to the streets in order to find, stabilize and otherwise help homeless and street kids improve their lives.
Description
StandUp for Kids fights to end youth homelessness by providing resources to homeless and at-risk kids. Resources range from basic hygiene, healthcare, counseling, mentoring, and drug and alcohol rehabilitation to support through our four core programs: Street Outreach, Mentoring, Outreach Centers and Apartment Support.
Aside from these resources and services, StandUp for Kids provides a caring community who values all homeless and at-risk youth. Our mentors and volunteers establish non-threatening relationships with youth and provide them with the love and support of family, helping guide them to independence, education, and self-sufficiency.
