Friends of the Children Austin is one of the fastest growing chapters of a 30+ year-old national professional mentoring organization, impacting generational change by empowering youth through relationships with professional mentors. We do this by providing children facing the most obstacles with a long-term, paid, professional mentor, who we call a “Friend,” from kindergarten through high school graduation, 12+ years – no matter what.

At Friends of the Children, we put children first and use our values to change the way the world treats and views youth facing great barriers. As a Friend you will nurture long-term relationships from a foundation of love, acceptance, and practices.

Do you want to help youth discover their limitless potential, by fostering their internal resiliency? Are you ready to help build relationships within the communities of our youth and families to strengthen social networks and provide bridges to new opportunities? If so, the impactful role of a Friend might be for you.

Embody a commitment to positive expectations.
Nurture and promote each child’s individual strengths, talents and abilities.
Help assure physical and emotional well-being.
Teach life and academic skills in creative ways.
Provide diverse enrichment activities.
Model responsible behavior.
Simultaneously manage multiple priorities to ensure goals are met.
Be comfortable with, and adept at, logging information into a database in a timely and accurate manner.

The ideal candidate will:

Be culturally competent and trauma informed.
Have superior scheduling and time management skills.
Have data entry and database management skills, as well as a commitment to detail accuracy.
Be willing and excited to make a minimum 3-year commitment.

Are you this amazing leader? Here is what we have to offer you:

A committed leadership team and the opportunity to grow with a quickly scaling non-profit.
You’ll be part of a dynamic and supportive national network, with a proven, evidence-based, highly unique model.
A team of talented employees who are passionate about working together to create an extraordinary organization.
Respect for work-life balance. You will work hard, and we expect you to recharge your batteries.
A comprehensive benefit package including three weeks of paid vacation, paid holidays and paid sick leave.
Most of all, you get to be a leader at an exceptional organization that helps children facing incredible odds change their life story every day.
