Position Description
SailFuture’s Residential Change Agent play a critical role in providing structure, guidance, and emotional support to six teenage boys living in a unique, family-style foster home environment.
This is a live-in position with a 3 to 4-day work week, including complimentary room and board (private, secured bedroom), international travel via sailboat, and a competitive compensation package.
The most meaningful benefit? The opportunity to profoundly impact the future of young men in foster care by helping them develop the tools, mindset, and confidence to succeed.
Mornings begin early with wake-ups, breakfast preparation, and motivational conversations as the boys get ready for school (kids attend our private, off-site high school—SailFuture Academy).
Afternoons include home household projects, experiential learning, and extracurricular activities, while evenings are focused on shared meals, chores, and winding down before bedtime. Lights are typically out by 11:00 PM.
We’re looking for individuals who are passionate about social justice, grounded in empathy, and equipped with strong leadership and communication skills. The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced, mission-driven environment and is committed to helping youth navigate life’s challenges with compassion and resilience.
