Live In Farm Manager Jobs in Biddeford, ME (NOW HIRING)

Some young adults simply need someone in their corner.

Someone who believes in them.
Someone who listens.
Someone who models healthy relationships, accountability, and independence.
Someone who helps them see what's possible.

At Waypoint's Transitional Living Program (TLP), we provide young adults ages 18-21 with safe housing, support, and life skills as they navigate the transition into adulthood. As a Volunteer Live-In House Mentor, you'll play a meaningful role in creating a stable, welcoming, and supportive home environment where young people can grow, learn, and thrive.

This is more than a volunteer opportunity. It's an opportunity to help shape futures, build community, and create lasting impact in the lives of young adults who have experienced significant challenges.
