Transform Lives. Lead with Purpose. Build Community.

Are you a compassionate leader who believes every young person deserves a safe place to heal and grow? Freedom Quest Youth Services is seeking an exceptional Residence Manager to lead our residential programs serving youth who need us most.

Why This Role Matters

You'll oversee one of our specialized residential homes—Freedom House—where young people facing complex challenges find safety, stability, and hope. As Residence Manager, you'll build and lead trauma-informed teams that create healing environments for youth from unstable backgrounds who may have experienced neglect, abuse, or other significant adversities.

This isn't just administration—it's leadership with heart, where every decision you make directly impacts a young person's journey toward healing and success.

Meaningful Work :

  • Lead trauma-informed, attachment-based care for vulnerable youth

  • Advocates who center youth voices in every decision
  • About Freedom Quest Youth Services Society

    We're a mission-driven organization creating spaces where vulnerable youth find safety, healing, and hope. Our trauma-informed approach recognizes that young people need more than services—they need relationships, stability, and adults who believe in them unconditionally.

    Our values guide everything we do : we're strengths-based, culturally humble, actively engaged, and committed to helping youth move toward their self-identified goals. We also support families with non-judgment and unconditional positive regard as they work to maintain or rebuild relationships with their young people.

    Ready to Lead with Impact?

    If you're passionate about creating healing environments for youth and building teams that change lives, we want to hear from you.
