Welcome! Your NewPath Begins Here

Resident Assistant- ILS Housing

Seasonal Position

As our live-in RA you will have the opportunity to establish therapeutic relationships with the young people we serve. Imagine teaching independent living skills and providing an environment that is growth-producing and which stimulates self-confidence and autonomy! The young adults in the program will look to you to provide emotional support to promote more normative behavior and to help them achieve a greater amount of life satisfaction and a sense of self-respect! Our goal is to help youth become adults who are able to contribute to society and meet life situations adequately and in a personally satisfying way. Where youth would otherwise be left entirely on their own at age 18, supportive independent living gives them the opportunity to practice life skills while backup supports such as guidance.

At NewPath, we do more to make a difference —more for each child, each client and our community. Our dedicated team does what it takes, day and night, to get to the heart of every case and deliver the best care. Backed by a full breadth of services, we cater to each individual and answer to every need. We reach more ages with more experts for more results.
