About the Role

We are seeking individuals who are dedicated to supporting young adults as they develop life skills, build independence, and prepare for meaningful careers.

  • Report violations of ethical behavior and notify leadership of concerns promptly.
  • Identify and report environmental health and safety issues.

Student Activities, Engagement & Daily Living Skills
