Empower Foster Youth,
Grow Professionally,
Thrive at AcademySTAY
Use your talents to guide aged-out foster youth toward college, careers, and lasting stability—while we champion your own growth every step.
Why Work With Us
Empowerment
Every voice carries weight here - whether you’re leading a life-skills workshop or pitching a new outreach idea. You’ll get day-one ownership of meaningful projects, a professional-development stipend, and a manager who measures success by impact, not by hours in a seat. When our students rise, so do you.
Excellence
We serve young people who deserve nothing less than our best. That means trauma-informed practice, data-driven decisions, and relentless learning. Expect clear goals, real feedback, and the resources to turn good work into game-changing outcomes for aged-out foster youth.
Collaboration
Progress happens in community, never in silos. From cross-team case huddles to volunteer-led Pride booths, you’ll partner with staff, students, and local allies every day. We celebrate wins together, share credit widely, and rally around one mission: unlocking opportunity—side by side.
Whether you’re a seasoned advocate or a quick-learning changemaker, there’s a place for your talents at AcademySTAY. Browse our current openings and hit “Apply” the moment a job feels like your next mission-move.

Voices that shape our culture
These young people are innovators. They’ve had to be. They’re resilient, resourceful, and ready to change the world.
