Professional Mentor "Friend"
Friends of the Children – Eastern Idaho is hiring a full-time Professional Mentor, who we call a "Friend", to build long-term, life-changing relationships with children and families in our rural communities. Do you want to help urban, rural, and Indigenous youth discover their limitless potential by fostering their internal resiliency? Are you ready to help build relationships to strengthen social networks and provide bridges to new opportunities? If so, the impactful role of a Friend might be for you.
We are currently seeking a mentor for our childhood program (kindergarten to 5th Grade) to serve as a positive adult role model to eight elementary children and develop loving, caring, and sustained relationships with each child. A Friend will build consistent, trusting relationships through one-on-one time in schools, homes, and community settings, while partnering closely with caregivers, educators, and community partners. This is a full-time, relationship-centered role that requires flexibility, sound judgment, and a deep commitment to long-term work with children and families.
