Resident Mentor at Joseph’s House
Where will I serve? At a long-term, residential home on the Northside of Syracuse.
Who will I serve? Mothers and their babies who find themselves homeless due to a wide variety of circumstances.
What will I do? You will play a very important role in the mission of the house. A Resident Mentor agrees to serve within the house as a way to be of service to Christs’ calling in their lives. Most often you will be asked to simply help where needed, such as helping with meals or providing child care, transportation, and household chores. You will also be asked to participate in the life of the residence when invited and work toward sharing the Gospel, creating community, and serving the women, children, staff, and volunteers in the home.
