Jobs at The Family & Youth Institute

The FYI takes pride in our systems approach, placing the thriving and resilient individual at the center of our vision. Our research covers every life stage of the individual – from infancy to elder care – and explores varying facets, including intimate settings like home and school and broader contexts like community and society. We engage meaningfully with the community to better comprehend and address the diverse experiences and challenges facing our young people, families, and communities. Across all our work, we are dedicated to empowering individuals and families with the knowledge and resources to promote mental health and drive positive change in their communities and broader society. 

Our Community-Based Participatory Research model ensures that your voices and experiences drive the research we produce. We delve into the factors that either prop up our families and youth or hinder them from flourishing. We collect research insights and transform them into evidence-based, religiously-grounded, and practical educational resources, bridging the gap between academic findings and real-world applications, emphasizing empowerment and education across every aspect of the individual’s experience, from the home to the broader community

At the heart of everything we do is our unwavering commitment to fortify individuals, families, and communities like you – our communities and leaders, our mentors and teachers, and mental health practitioners. Through rigorous research and transformative education, we’re lighting the path to empowerment.
