TAY Service Network Manager - Position Summary 

The Contra Costa County (CCC) Transition Aged Youth (TAY) Service Network aims to ensure that every young adult (ages 18-25) on probation gets access to services and programs that meet their needs and support them to achieve their goals.

The TAY Service Network is sponsored by the Contra Costa County Probation Department through state funds (SB 678) intended to reduce recidivism among individuals on felony probation, mandatory supervision, and/or post-release community supervision by utilizing resources and making investments in evidence-based supervision practices and treatment interventions. In doing so, the TAY Service Network is designed to establish a collaborative system of support that will include aligning TAY-specific probation caseloads with TAY-focused supportive services and ultimately building the capacity of both the Department and TAY Service Network partners in working with justice-involved young adults.
