Join Our Team


We help youth change, which in turn helps keep communities safe. And our staff, at all levels, often describe their jobs using phrases like "rewarding," "make a difference," and "meaningful".

Many OYA employees provide direct care for youth, while others serve to support that work in and outside of our facilities, in a variety of roles within our administrative offices and satellite locations. All are united by a belief in the positive, developmental approach to rehabilitation, and by our culture of creating safe, supportive environments, where we all are held accountable and connected to our community.

Workforce Diversity and Inclusion at OYA


At OYA, we are committed to inclusive excellence in all we do.

We know a diverse workforce brings a welcome variety of perspectives about important issues and is essential for providing the sensitivity and awareness we need to appropriately deliver services to youth and establish critical relationships with our many community partners. You can learn more about our equity lens and the common sense approaches that guide our work here.

We are an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity employer. For more information, check out the OYA Affirmative Action Plan and the Governor's Executive Order on Affirmative Action, Equal Employment Opportunity, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
