Where Hope Lives is a Christ-centered, regional non-profit organization combatting the impact of child sexual exploitation (CSE) and human trafficking. Our Where Hope Lives Teen Campus (formerly known as StreetLightUSA) provides high quality residential and therapeutic services to adolescent females aged 13-17. We are one of a handful of organizations within the United States specializing in the care of CSE. We are a Christ-centered organization that is committed to interdisciplinary collaboration to bring about holistic healing to the clients we serve. Check us out at WhereHopeLives.org

Where Hope Lives is accredited through the Citygate Network of Christian Social Service Providers. The most successful candidates for this portion will have an understanding and previous experience of how to deliver Christ-centered social services.

Caution - While this position can be very rewarding, it is also very challenging. Some have found it extremely difficult to work with teen girls who have significant trauma. People who have previous experience working in high acuity behavioral health residential facilities will be the most successful and fulfilled in this position.

We have immediate openings for full-time and part-time Behavioral Health Para Professionals to provide support and act as caregivers to the youth in our care.
