Live-In Volunteer Mentor (room/board included)

Join our community-oriented transitional living program as a Live-In Mentor Volunteer, and support adults as they navigate mental health challenges and work towards independence and self-sufficiency.

Our home is a social, communal space where residents and volunteer staff enjoy meals and conversations and share responsibility for household chores and preparing dinners.

In exchange for your volunteer services, you will receive a private room, meals, and utilities in our Central Square, Cambridge location—just a 5-minute walk to the Red Line.

Ideal Candidate:

• Compassionate and community-minded.
• Eager to support residents in a friendly, communal environment.
• Strong boundaries and problem-solving skills.
• At ease rolling with a changing environment.

Note:

• This is a non-clinical position; no mental health experience is required, but is helpful to have.
• College degree not require.
• A one-year commitment is preferred
