Are you passionate about making a real difference in the lives of teenagers? Do you want to be part of a team that fosters growth, healing, and lifelong change? Sunrise Residential Treatment Center in beautiful Washington, UT, is hiring compassionate, committed Youth Mentors to join our team.

At Sunrise, we help adolescent teens and gender-diverse youth unlock their full academic, emotional, and social potential. Many of our students are navigating challenges like depression, anxiety, trauma, and attachment issues. As a Youth Mentor, you'll play a vital role in their journey by building authentic relationships, modeling healthy behaviors, and guiding them through day-to-day experiences with empathy and structure.

Our program is built on Relational Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and we integrate its principles into every aspect of care. You’ll receive ongoing training and support to use these skills as you help students apply them in real-time—during meals, activities, study sessions, and therapeutic groups.

Why Sunrise?

• Inspiring location: Nestled in the heart of southern Utah, Sunrise offers year-round access to red rock landscapes, local hiking trails, and nearby national parks.
• Community connection: Our in-town campus provides students and staff with access to local colleges, volunteer opportunities, jobs, and service learning experiences.
• Supportive environment: You’ll work alongside a team that values connection, collaboration, and continual growth—for both our students and our staff.
