With a summer staff of 25 in charge of working with just 42 at-risk boys (10-18 years of age) during each of two summer sessions, you’ll be an integral part of a uniquely supportive and cohesive community on a 50-acre island in New Hampshire. Mayhew boys all come from disadvantaged backgrounds (low-income, single-parent homes) and participate tuition-free. Summer staff will help promote the development of improved self-esteem and behavior, healthier peer interactions, goal setting skills and a strong sense of belonging for the boys. While the work can be fatiguing and emotionally draining, the positive and meaningful experience created at Mayhew is rich beyond measure. Tangible benefits include compensation of $4,500 plus a $1,000 summer completion bonus, room & board, and lots of great home cooking served family-style.
