Description
Join a mission-driven team that's making a real impact in the lives of boys ages 6-12. Our Short-Term Residential Therapeutic Program (STRTP) provides structure, consistency, and guidance for youth overcoming emotional and behavioral challenges. We're building a strong team that believes in discipline with compassion and leading by example.
We're looking for hands-on, reliable professionals who can provide steady guidance and structure for boys in a residential setting. You'll work closely with a tight-knit team to mentor, motivate, and model positive behaviors-helping young residents build confidence, responsibility, and resilience.

- Set clear expectations, enforce boundaries, and maintain safety with calm authority.
- Model responsibility, teamwork, and respect in every interaction.
- Lead and participate in recreational activities, skill-building, and daily routines.
- Work with therapists and supervisors to carry out individual care and treatment plans.
- Maintain accurate records and reports of behavior, progress, and incidents.
- Support your team-show up, communicate, and contribute to a positive work culture.
What We're Looking For
- Natural leadership and solid judgment under pressure.
- Dependability-you do what you say you'll do and show up ready to work.
- A steady, grounded presence who can remain calm and confident when things get tough.
- Experience or interest in coaching, mentoring, trades, youth work, or behavioral support.
- Willingness to work flexible hours (evenings, weekends, or holidays).
- A genuine desire to make a difference and be a positive role model.
