I have a degree in Criminal Justice and I want to work with kids. I applied for the state and county jobs ie. probation, corrections, youth counselor. But now I'm looking for other jobs like working in group homes, but when I do a search for jobs in group homes or even the group home webpage I can't see to find anything. What is another title I could look under to find what I want to do. Or even suggestions to as to what else I can do.

I would suggest looking under the terms Human Services.
You may also want to consider looking at the Americorps or V.I.S.T.A. programs. These are federal programs that work with agencies in targetted areas to provide youth and community development services. Also apply as a counselor with Job Corps. They have centers througout the U.S.
Another option is that in many major cities there are temporary agencies that specialize in human service positions. When I did this many years ago I worked primarily in group homes (many of which were with kids).

Go for the non-government orgs which are for humanitarian purposes of anti-abuse or for the adoption of orphaned kids...
Social worker would be good...
