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.
