Full Time
• Flexible Weekday/After‑School Hours
• Consistent Weekly Commitment

Hope’s Promise provides supportive, relationship‑centered services for youth with intellectual/developmental disabilities and their families. Our mentors offer stability, encouragement, and healthy connection — and they’re backed by a team that provides training, structure, and ongoing support every step of the way.

If you’re someone who shows up consistently, communicates clearly, and enjoys building trust with young people, this role is a great fit.

As a Mentor, you’ll be paired with one youth and meet consistently to build rapport, model healthy boundaries, and support their goals. You are never expected to “fix” anything — your presence, reliability, and encouragement matter most.

• Minimum of 30 hours per week
• Meeting with your assigned youth weekly for at home or community‑based activities
• Driving your assigned youth to and from visit activities in your personal vehicle
• Building a safe, supportive, judgment‑free relationship
• Modeling healthy communication and boundaries
• Following the youth’s individualized plan and activity guidelines
• Documenting visits in a simple, structured format
• Communicating with your supervisor about progress, concerns, or wins
• Participating in required training and check‑ins

• Structured onboarding with clear expectations
• Specialized training before you’re matched
• Weekly support check‑ins during your first month
• A team that celebrates small wins — because they matter

This is not a casual role. It’s a commitment to each assigned youth for 6–12 months, and we support you so you can show up with confidence.

• Consistent and dependable
• Comfortable setting boundaries
• Patient, calm, and encouraging
• Able to communicate clearly with youth and staff
• Open to learning trauma‑informed approaches
• Someone who follows through even on tough days

• Must be 18+
• Experience in behavioral health, education, youth programs, or caregiving (including personal experience)
• Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation
• Ability to pass background checks
• Willingness to commit to weekly meetings with your assigned youth
• Comfortable using simple digital documentation tools

• Full time, flexible scheduling
• Benefit eligible after 60 days of active employment
• Weekday afternoons/evenings preferred
• Pay: $20/hour
• Additional paid training and support hours included

• Supported
• Prepared
• Connected to a team
• Clear on expectations

If you want to make a meaningful difference — with structure, training, and a team behind you — we’d love to meet you.
