Meet Penny, our veteran Residential Instructor, and read her story - how the job grew with her life over the years.

“This isn’t a job where you clock in and clock out,” Penny says. “This is a permanent home for people. It’s their safe place. That means when someone’s having a hard time, I walk beside them through it. That’s what we do here.”

Meet Peggy, who found both connection and flexibility she was looking for as Residential Instructor.

Some of her shifts include overnight hours—but with a sleeping night and a monitor alert in place, Peggy says the nights are quiet. “I’m often in bed by 8,” she says. “It’s peaceful.”

Requirements

High school diploma/equivalent, use of personal vehicle, clean background.
