When you work at St. Joseph's Villa, there are so many ways you might answer when someone asks you, "How was your day?"

"Today I helped a student solve a math problem he refused to try a week ago."

"Today I consoled a girl who had just found out she was given up for adoption."

"Today I heard laughter from a boy who hasn't smiled in months since his mother died."

"Today I helped a 16-year-old make another hard step toward recovery from chemical dependency."

"Today I helped a mom learn more about her son's issues and what she can do to help.''

"Today I watched a student graduate from high school who was flunking out a year ago."

"Today I helped a nervous teen prepare for a job interview. And she got the job!"

"Today I changed a life."

There are a lot of reasons people choose a career.

What better reason is there than helping children find their way through problems and become positive, responsible young men and women?

When you work for St. Joseph's Villa, you become part of a family of role models who have proven success at helping kids build better futures for themselves. Villa staff believe in the potential of every boy and girl and are dedicated to helping kids make a fresh start. You will also find out what it feels like to work in a warm, friendly environment where your skills, talents and personality are consistently valued and recognized.

We look for and reward open-minded individuals who are able to meet challenges with maturity, compassion, honesty, patience, common sense, humor and a positive attitude.

A uniquely supportive work environment provides comprehensive and highly competitive wage and benefits packages.

Working with behaviorally and emotionally-challenged children, many of whom also have learning disabilities, is not for everyone. The demands are great. It takes commitment to see results.

But when you work for St. Joseph's Villa, there's no telling how many lives you might change, starting with your own.

One thing is certain, you'll never have an ordinary day.
