Milton Hershey School (MHS) is a top-notch home and school where 2,000 pre-K through 12th grade students from disadvantaged backgrounds are provided an extra-ordinary cost-free career focused education.

FTLA’s mentor MHS seniors to ensure they develop the life skills necessary for success post-graduation – whether they are entering post-secondary education, the military, or the world of work. FTLA's prepare students for the challenges they’ll face by role-modeling life skills and teaching self-responsibility, goal setting, planning & prioritization, time management, personal finance, and interpersonal skills - including appropriate dating behavior and managing peer pressure.

Additionally, FTLA’s provide coverage in MHS’s students homes as needed.

  • Valid driver's license in good standing and an ability to become certified to drive a 9-passenger van.
  • Experience working in youth residential settings a plus.
  • Experience mentoring, teaching &/or advising diverse youth from under-served settings desired.

  • Exceptional interpersonal & leadership skills required including the ability to effectively manage conflict and inspire others.
  • High degree of organizational skills & flexibility required.
  • Computer skills including Microsoft & Google applications, Internet & social media.
  • Because this is a live in position, the following parameters apply, only married spouses may reside in the apartment and overnight guests must be pre-approved. No pets, no smoking, and no weapons. No alcohol while on duty.
  • Candidates should demonstrate a high degree of integrity, as all MHS staff are role models for students.
