Why do we score so well?
Youth Villages knows our employees are giving their all to care for the kids who rely on us for healing and family restoration—so we want those employees to know we care about them. In addition to competitive salaries and benefits, we offer so much more.
To assist with work-life balance, we provide exercise facilities, gym discounts and free health assessments. In addition, we partner with Life Balance to help our employees with stress management when day-to-day challenges start to become overwhelming. To aid with career development, we offer tuition reimbursement and paid licensure supervision. And to plan for the future, we contribute up to 6% of your salary every year to a personal retirement account after you’re 100% vested.
There’s also plenty of fun! Employees love the passionate team atmosphere. They compete against each other in the annual YV5K and 10-Miler and relish the chance to come together for fun and inspiration at the yearly National Employee Conference in Memphis, Tennessee.

DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION
Youth Villages is committed to not only advancing diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace but also in our work with children and young adults. We know that children, families and young people can face inequity in child welfare and justice systems, and we train our employees to build the skills they need to work with the communities that we serve, as well as other employees from different cultures and backgrounds. Youth Villages is opposed to prejudice and racism in any of its forms and is committed to inclusion, equity and diversity. We believe that respect for each other is crucial in the work that we do each day.
