Direct Care Team Member

NHCA invites spiritually mature men who are called to invest in the next generation through Christ-centered mentorship. This role is more than supervision—it is a ministry opportunity to walk alongside young people, model a life of faith, and help guide them toward spiritual, emotional, and personal growth. The Direct Care Team member serves as a steady, godly presence in the daily lives of students, offering consistency, accountability, and encouragement within a structured, faith-based environment.

A Calling, Not Just a Position This role is well-suited for individuals who view their work as ministry, those who desire to make a lasting impact by living out their faith in a practical, relational way. Whether you come with formal ministry experience or a depth of life experience shaped by your walk with Christ, your influence here matters.
