• Teach respect, boundaries, and accountability.
• Guide daily life skills and routines.
• Model calm leadership, consistency, and strength.
• Show up when it matters most (after school, evenings, weekends).

• Document sessions clearly and responsibly.
• Work closely with a supportive clinical and leadership team.

This Role Is a Strong Fit If You Are

• Athletic or active.
• A coach, former athlete, or team leader.

• Looking to build experience in:

• Pay: $18–$21 per hour (based on experience).
• Flexible full‑time and part‑time options.

• Supportive team culture.
• Mileage reimbursement, when applicable.
• Real experience that matters if you’re pursuing:
• Counseling
• Social work
• Psychology
• Education
• Youth or community leadership

Requirements

• High school diploma or GED.
• Experience working with youth (sports, mentoring, camps, schools, after‑school programs, faith or community groups, behavioral health, etc.).
• Reliable transportation & valid driver’s license.
• Ability to be consistent, firm, and supportive.
• Comfortable following structured plans and expectations.

Bonus (Not Required, But Helpful)

• Background in behavioral health, education, or human services.
• Experience working with youth who struggle with emotions or behavior.
