Do you want to help improve the lives of at-risk youth in your community? 

Do you want to join a team of people who are hard-working and want to help others? 

Do you want to build a career while making a difference in the world?

If this sounds like you, let’s talk!  We’re looking for a Youth Mentor at the Mt. Evans Qualifying House in Idaho Springs, CO, an affiliate of Rite of Passage.  Our employees are dedicated and passionate individuals that are committed to inspiring positive change in the lives of youth.  Joining our team is more than just a job, it’s an opportunity to create a meaningful career with a company driven by its powerful mission to make a difference. 

Rite of Passage is a leading national provider of programs and opportunities for troubled and at-risk youth from social services, welfare agencies and juvenile courts.  With an emphasis on evidence-based practices and positive skill development, combined with our supportive and therapeutic approach, our organization is respected by industry experts as a highly effective solution for our youth.  Since 1984, over 25,000 youths have entered and completed our programs.  ROP has built its reputation on running life-changing educational treatment programs that positively contribute to the community. 

What you’ll do: 

The Youth Mentor exercises considerable independent judgment and authority on a daily basis through direction and supervision of both students and staff in order to meet expectations of the services provided. Additionally, the Youth Mentor is charged with the safety, care and around-the-clock supervision of students in the program. At the Mt. Evans Qualifying House, the Youth Mentor spends a great deal of time in the Idaho Springs community.  The Youth Mentor checks in on students who are actively working in the community and routinely participates in community service projects throughout Clear Creek County.  The Mt. Evans Qualifying House generally accepts older students (ages 16-21) and focuses on the development of independent living skills.  Not to mention spending time in the pristine mountains of the Arapahoe National Forest is not a bad place to report to work!  

  To be considered, you should: 

1. Be empathetic, patient, and treat others with respect. 
2. Have a desire to work with troubled teens and at least 1 year of direct care experience with juveniles. 
3. Have experience in a supervisory role. 
4. Be at least 21 years of age. 
5. Be able to pass a criminal background check, drug screen, physical, and TB test. 

  The Perks: 

1. Eligible for Medical, Dental, Vision, and Life Insurance after 90 days of employment. 
2. Choice of supplemental benefits, including Short Term Disability and Life Insurance. 
3. Eligible for 100% 401k match of up to 6% of your salary after 1 year of employment. 
4. Paid Time Off that can be used as soon as it accrues. 
5. Free Meals on shift. 
6. Employee incentives including On-The-Spot Bonuses, Rams Bucks, and Longevity Awards. 
7. Growth opportunities nationwide – we have 50 programs in 18 states! 
8. Tuition Assistance.
