Youth Mentor Opportunity
Are you passionate about making a difference in the lives of adolescent girls? Are you studying or have a background in psychology, social work, behavioral science, or a related field? Join New Haven, a leading residential treatment center, and become a vital part of a mission-driven team dedicated to healing and transformation.
New Haven serves adolescent girls (ages 14–18) and their families through trauma-informed, relationship-based care. With campuses in Spanish Fork and Saratoga Springs, we offer a warm, home-like setting that blends therapeutic support with accredited academics. Our focus areas include trauma recovery, family systems, emotional regulation, and mental health.
Work Schedule Youth Mentors are required to work a minimum of 24 hours per week, including two Sundays per month, with the option to work up to 30 hours.

These connections are essential as they play a pivotal role in the progress and development of each student within our program. You become a mentor, a friend, and a source of inspiration, guiding them towards a brighter future.
