The mission of the Oregon Youth Authority (OYA) is to protect the public and reduce crime by holding youth offenders accountable and providing opportunities for reformation in safe environments. In support of this mission, the Agency Director’s Message states: “The OregonYouth Authority's mandate is multi-faceted. Our most important charge is to protect the public and hold youth offenders accountable for their behavior. But at all levels of the organization, our greatest challenge is to provide youth with opportunities to learn personal responsibility, develop social skills, and make positive choices for themselves. Our goal is to prevent youth from moving deeper into the juvenile justice or the adult corrections systems”. As an OYA employee, individuals are a part of the team responsible for the supervision, management and administration of correctional facilities, parole and probation services, community out-of-home placements, and other functions related to state programs for youth corrections. These responsibilities are provided for youth offenders from diverse cultures and backgrounds ranging in age from 12 to 18 (in some cases up to age 25). The youth offenders may reside in one of ten OYA-operated facilities located around the state or may be involved with services under the jurisdiction of OYA such as parole and probation. The OregonYouth Authority values culturally competent staff to provide a continuum of services to our diverse clientele. GENERAL INFORMATION . . .
