The Agency
The Calgary John Howard Society (CJHS) is a charity that reduces crime and makes Calgary communities safer by helping youth and adults make positive changes and move away from criminal behaviour. We do this by addressing the root causes of crime through housing, education, employment programs and support so that individuals have alternatives to breaking the law. CJHS is committed to restorative justice and an organizational environment that recognizes the dignity and worth of each person. CJHS values diversity and inclusion and welcomes qualified applicants from all walks of life.
The Program
Breakthrough is designed to intervene early with youth who are at high risk of developing long-term dependency on Income Support. It is an outreach-based employment program supporting high-risk youth aged 1624 who have experienced homelessness, housing instability, justice involvement, disrupted education, and limited workforce attachment. The program embeds intensive employment coaching directly into youth housing settings, community locations, and employer worksites.
Breakthrough prioritizes early paid engagement, individualized coaching, and long-term retention support, recognizing that employment pathways for high-risk youth are often non-linear and require flexible, relationship-based approaches.
