Job Description

This Is More Than a Job. It’s Mentorship.

If you’ve ever coached a team, stepped in for a kid who needed guidance, or felt called to help young men grow into their best selves — this role is for you.

This is an active, hands-on role for people who believe presence matters — and who aren’t afraid to lead by example.

Love, Care, Kindness, and Compassion.

• Work closely with a supportive clinical and leadership team

• Afternoon & weekend schedules
• Flexible full-time and part-time options
• Paid training and ongoing development
• Supportive team culture — you won’t do this alone
• Mileage reimbursement (when applicable)

  • Counseling
  • Social work
  • Psychology

• Reliable transportation & valid driver’s license
• Strong communication skills
• Ability to be consistent, firm, and supportive
• Comfortable following structured plans and expectations

Bonus (Not Required, But Helpful)

Why This Work Matters

For some of the boys you’ll mentor, you may be the most consistent positive presence in their week .

Your influence can shape:

• how they handle stress
• how they respond to authority
• how they see themselves
• how they treat others

That’s real impact.
