What kind of people does Mayhew hire?
First and foremost, we look to hire good people. We seek individuals of strong character, maturity, and personal responsibility who naturally model the sorts of behaviors and interactions we hope to promote in the boys of the program. A good sense of humor, patience, a strong work-ethic, a willingness to learn, a commitment to purpose, and a strong ability to work well with others are also tremendously important. With the extraordinarily demanding environment we like to create on Mayhew Island, we hire only the most capable and resourceful applicants each year. Staff must be at least 18 years of age and have no criminal record. Mayhew generally hires staff with at least one year of college experience but other life-experiences may qualify. Collegiate area-of-study is not important (past staff have included English, Philosophy, Sociology, Economics, and Sports Science majors). Past experience working with children is ideal but not required. Interest in working with at-risk youth is vita
