Impact Internship

POSITION SUMMARY

The Center for Children & Youth Justice, founded in 2006 by Justice Bobbe J. Bridge (ret.), is committed to

reforming Washington’s juvenile justice and child welfare systems. CCYJ leads communities, our state, and the

nation in empowering children and youth, stabilizing families, and strengthening communities through

meaningful and lasting reform. CCYJ identifies gaps in the system, researches, develops innovative and creative

solutions, and ensures that policymakers integrate these system improvements into practices and procedures.

CCYJ’s results are realized into state law, adopted as standing protocols by the courts, schools, and other

partners; and they are developed into new interventions for at-risk, abused and/or neglected children and their

families. CCYJ has succeeded in driving positive systems change for more than a decade. Following an extensive

national search, our Board of Directors appointed our second President and CEO Rachel Sottile in late 2018. Our

passionate staff is deeply committed to the youth for whom we advocate.

The Impact Intern provides administrative support, partner and external stakeholder communications, meeting

scheduling and material preparation, and data management to the LINC Program Team and the Washington

State Becca Task Force.

This is a temporary, part-time position.
