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.
Youth Villages has been certified as a “Great Place to Work” year after year based on thousands of employee surveys conducted by the Great Place to Work Institute. When it comes to key attributes like atmosphere and rewards, we outrank other employers by a mile.
At Youth Villages, we are guided in all things by our mission, values and our culture of respect, mutual support, decency and civility.
Our hiring processes are fair, unbiased and provide equal opportunities for all candidates. This reflects our overall commitment to serve children with emotional and behavioral issues, their families and young adults in the most effective ways, while building inclusive, supportive environments for our employees and those we serve.
We provide equal opportunities for employment and advancement (EOE) to all employees and applicants. We prohibit discrimination and harassment of any type without regard to race, color, religion, age, sex, national origin, disability status, genetics, protected veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or any other characteristic protected by federal, state or local laws.
