Duties

House Mentors create and maintain an environment of safety, growth, and encouragement for all residents, as well as provide individualized and necessary skills training directly to youth. House Mentors are responsible to implement all processes relating to house management including, but not limited to, cleaning rotations, curfew adherence, maintenance requests, volunteer coordination, inventory management, food and meal coordination, systems subscriptions, and interrelational resident management. The House Mentor will also be responsible for collaborating with a multidisciplinary team of support staff and volunteers including, but not limited to, the therapist, case manager, community mentors, workforce development director, and supervising staff. As a contributing member of this support staff team, House Mentors will facilitate youth access to needed physical, emotional, social, educational, and other services.
