Some of our residential volunteers have an interest in eventually pursuing a graduate degree in social work, psychiatry, or other related fields. This position provides an opportunity to gain important experience that provides a context for future studies in this field.

Experience working with people and leading and directing the work of others is desirable. Must be able to sleep overnight in Guest residences.
