Youth Coach

Lives Under Construction (LUC) Boys Ranch is a residential treatment program for at-risk boys between the ages of 7 and 18. Our program is designed to enable boys to become productive, law-abiding, respectful young men through a balanced Christ-centered program of academics, vocational training, and good old-fashioned hard work. Because the boys that we work with come from a variety of backgrounds, LUC staff members need to be
servant-minded, consistent in enforcing the program through structure and discipline, calm and kind during stressful situations, committed to instilling habits that lead to later success, and dedicated to seeing projects through to completion.

Responsibilities

• Supervise residents during work projects & free time activities.
• Enforce consequences for misbehavior & understand rules, policies, and philosophy of the LUC program.
• Supervise chores inside and out, including being familiar with expectations of each particular area. Work within time schedule.
• Enforce promptness of scheduled time for wakeup, school, meals, work job, recreation, devotions, & bedtime.
• Be available to lead group devotions and help with personal devotions.
• Be a positive role-model and teach life lessons based on Biblical principles to the residents including how to deal with difficult and stressful situations, make good decisions, and be an honest, trustworthy individual.
• Always be aware of and utilize safety precautions that would eliminate or mitigate likelihood of accidents.
• Be objective and fair. Do not show favoritism.
