You could make a difference in someone’s life every day as a Residential Support Specialist (RSS) working with pregnant and parenting teens and young adults between the ages of 17-24.
Residential Support Specialists work one-on-one and in groups with youth experiencing mental health challenges.

During an average day, you will teach independent living skills like hygiene and housekeeping, help residents prepare meals, model relationship building skills, and coach youth on coping skills.
Not only do you help clients develop key independent living skills, you are also fostering a safe and inviting living environment by regularly cleaning the residence. You will see their progress and document their experiences, success with medication management, and recovery process as they transition to adulthood.
