Great meals can make a place feel a little more like home.

EmberHope Youthville is looking for a dependable, caring Campus Cook to join our Goddard YRC II residential team.

This isn't just about preparing meals. You'll be part of a team creating consistency, comfort, and stability for adolescents living in our residential program.

Our YRC II is a no-eject, no-reject facility, meaning we serve youth with significant needs and challenging behaviors who may have experienced multiple unsuccessful placements. While your primary responsibility is in the kitchen, you'll be working in an active residential environment where patience, professionalism, healthy boundaries, and a trauma-informed mindset matter.

More Than a Kitchen Job

At EmberHope Youthville, every role contributes to our mission.

For the adolescents we serve, something as simple as knowing when the next meal is coming, seeing a familiar face, and having predictable routines can be meaningful.

Come cook with purpose.
