What does Mayhew offer summer staff?
We offer a ten week challenge on a beautiful Island and a chance to work with some really deserving and appreciative young men. Summer salaries start at $2800 and include full room and board, but the rewards of working at Mayhew go well beyond any monetary compensation. The feelings of staff camaraderie and the shared sense of purpose are second to none. In addition, staff members gain invaluable practical skills in working with children, skills that quite naturally translate into other arenas. One staff alum writes, “Even considering my Master’s degree in Education, nothing better prepared me for life in the classroom than my summers working on Mayhew Island.” We strive to create an overwhelmingly positive and supportive environment for everyone, and often new Mayhew staff complete the summer and leave the Island in awe of the experiences and perspective they’ve gained. They often find themselves yearning for summer days on Mayhew Island during the fall, winter, and spring months away
