Job description
Youth Enrichment Specialist
Make a difference where it matters most.
At Zarephath, we believe every child deserves a chance to thrive. We are a dedicated behavioral health agency in Arizona on a mission to support families and children navigating life's toughest challenges. As a Youth Enrichment Specialist, you aren't just "providing care"— you're building confidence, teaching life skills, and creating positive memories for youth who need a champion.
Our Community Presence
We operate 6 dedicated residential houses across Mesa and Apache Junction. These homes serve as the "hub" for our youth—safe, supportive environments where healing and growth happen every day. You'll be a key part of the team keeping these houses vibrant and therapeutic.
Your Weekend Mission
You'll spend your weekends (Friday afternoon through Sunday) mentoring youth ages 1–17. This isn't a desk job. You'll be out in the community and in residential settings, helping kids hit their goals through:
Leading community outings to parks, museums, and cultural events.
Working side-by-side with youth on social skills and personal development.
Providing a stable, therapeutic environment where kids feel seen and heard.
