~ Youth Support Specialist (OVERNIGHT dorm mentors) - "The most vital position in all of Sisu Youth Programming." YSS’s are highly trained and vetted volunteers that work directly with youth enrolled in the emergency shelter "Dorm" program. Without yet having the large funding to hire paid staff, YSS’s are the power behind Sisu Youth being able to offer shelter to the hundreds of teens facing homelessness each night in the metro area. YSS trainees must be age 25 or older, or currently a student/employee in a behavioral/health/youth-related field. The background check fee is $25, no other training fees are required. National Certifications in Medical First-Aid, Trauma Informed Care and Mental Health First-Aid are issued upon completion of each training. A Youth Support Specialist Certificate will be issued upon completion of all 6 components of the YSS Training Program.

Mission Statement
To ensure that young people experiencing adversity have a safe place to sleep, the security to dream and the support to make a positive impact on the world. Supporting youth in crisis as they pave their road ahead. Together, we are Sisu.
Description
Sisu Youth was created around the belief that the OKC metro community can and will find a way to ensure that its most vulnerable youth are cared for and protected to the very best of its ability. In the last several years, through volunteerism and small donations from hundreds of Oklahoma City residents this grand community experiment has been brought to life, ensuring that all of us, in at least some small way, are helping to support our city’s endangered youth.
