DSP/Community Mentor/ABA

Self Directed Direct Support Professional / Community Mentor/Applied Behavioral Analysis

Make a Difference. Build a Meaningful Connection.

We are seeking a motivated and engaging mentor to support a young man with developmental disabilities as he continues to thrive and grow within his community.

This is not a traditional caregiver role. We are looking for someone who can be a coach, mentor, and positive influence—someone who values building a genuine relationship based on respect, trust, accountability, and shared experiences.

The individual you will support is highly social, self-determined, friendly, energetic, and optimistic. He enjoys connecting with others, loves conversation, and sees the good in everyone. He is motivated to live a full and active life and is looking for someone who will actively engage with him and help him continue developing important life and social skills.

Responsibilities Include:

• Providing mentorship and guidance in social and emotional situations
• Assisting with friendship building, peer connections, and community involvement
• Supporting skill development related to independence, organization, and time management
• Helping navigate dating and relationship situations in a respectful and appropriate manner
• Encouraging accountability and helping process situations from multiple perspectives
• Assisting with planning activities, setting goals, and following through on commitments
• Promoting self-advocacy, confidence, and personal growth
• Participating in community outings and shared interests

Ideal Candidate:

• Has a strong, confident, and engaging personality
• Is dependable, organized, and proactive
• Enjoys conversation and building authentic relationships
• Can provide guidance while respecting independence and self-determination
• Is creative in helping develop social opportunities and community connections
• Values mentorship over caretaking
• Has excellent communication and interpersonal skills

Shared Interests Include:

• Rock music
• Star Wars
• Playing guitar
• Movies
• Marvel comics
• Cosplay and comic conventions
• County fairs and community events
• Classic cars and car shows

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys mentoring, coaching, teaching, social work, psychology, special education, recreation, or simply making a meaningful impact in someone's life.

If you are someone who can motivate, encourage, challenge, and genuinely connect with others, we would love to hear from you.
