Caregivers for Teens
Make a Meaningful Impact – Alternative Care Opportunities for Teens
The Children's Aid Society for the District of Thunder Bay is seeking compassionate and dedicated caregivers to make a difference in the lives of teens (ages 13-17). This is a unique and rewarding opportunity to support a young person in need, offering them a safe and nurturing environment where they can thrive.
As a caregiver, you'll play a key role in supporting a teen while helping them stay connected to their community. You will work with a multidisciplinary team to implement a personalized care plan, ensuring each child receives the support they need to grow and succeed.
