We would love to send out a HUGE THANK YOU to Grace Christian Academy https://www.facebook.com/GCALions for preparing several frozen dinners for our boys. These meals will be very convenient on nights when we do not have volunteer chefs or need to prepare something quick due to programming. We appreciate the support of GCA and their volunteers!

If you are interested in providing meals for our residents or coming to prepare a meal with them, please visit our website at https://myfriendshousetn.org/volunteers to learn more about our Chef for the Night program and how you can make a difference in the life of an at-risk teen boy, one meal at a time.

WE ARE HIRING!

If you are patient, steady under pressure, and passionate about helping teenagers succeed, one of these roles might be right for you.

We are currently looking for:

An experienced, full-time Philanthropy Officer
Full-Time 1st Shift Direct Care Staff
Full-Time 3rd Shift Direct Care Staff
Part-Time Weekend Direct Care Staff

Working at My Friend’s House is an opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of young men who need stability, encouragement, and support. Our team is committed to providing a safe and positive environment where both residents and staff can grow.

Working with youth in residential care can be extremely rewarding, but it can also be challenging. Our residents have experienced difficult life circumstances and may struggle with trust, boundaries, or emotional regulation.

Successful staff members are patient, calm, consistent, and able to maintain structure while still showing care and encouragement.

If you are someone who enjoys mentoring teenagers and helping them develop life skills, these roles can be incredibly meaningful.

We still have open slots on our May calendar for Chef for the Night!

Big shout out to the Downtown Franklin Rotary for donating $5,000 to My Friend's House! We thank you so much for your continued support and loyalty to the residents we serve and care for every day. We could not continue to serve at-risk teen boys in Tennessee without the help from our community.
