Students are separated into two groups by gender. One House Parent is needed to supervise each group of students. These are live-in positions.
Responsibilities:
• provide a culturally-based family environment where students will receive nurturing, as well as personal, academic, and social support

• provide experiences that develop living cultural and recreational skills
• provide daily healthy meals for students
Qualifications:
• experience working with adolescents in a cross-cultural setting
• training in the area of counseling and personal growth
• ability to assist high school students with their studies
It is a bona fide occupational requirement that each House Parent shall supervise children of the same gender. Applicants who do not identify as male or female will be considered. Applicants who apply as a couple for both positions should indicate as such in the applications.
