The primary purpose of a Mary’s Home Academy teacher is to provide a safe, calm, loving, respectful, interactive, and experiential learning environment for Mary’s Home students. Teachers must be willing to set aside preconceived notions and seek to understand the cultural backgrounds and experiences of individuals coming out of trauma. Teachers must be highly coachable, highly skilled, and highly adaptable in areas specific to the characteristics and needs of the student population. Teachers enter into a "transformational relationship" with the student which focuses on learning through trust. This trust is developed by creating an environment where students are listened to, valued, affirmed, and protected. Students are empowered by teachers to be shapers of their own learning and learning experiences. Teachers therefore embrace a facilitator role, which emphasizes psychomotor activities, dialogue, and peer-to-peer learning.
A complete volunteer position description will be sent upon expressing interest in this opportunity.
Our volunteer application process includes a virtual tour, application, references, volunteer handbook receipt & acknowledgement, interview, and background check.

Description
We began in 2011 with the Dream Centers Women's Clinic. We serve women ages 13-64, with a focus on GYN health. The Women’s Clinic is the only free clinic in the area that offers medical care specializing in women’s health. Women who experience poverty and homelessness often skip preventative care and ignore dangerous symptoms due to the high cost and not knowing where to turn. We care for thousands of women a year.
In 2015 Dream Centers Mary's Home opened.
Mary’s Home is a long term (2-5 years) supportive housing community that helps women and their children 7 years old and younger break free from the cycles of poverty and homelessness. Most of the Mary’s Home residents have experienced physical, sexual, or emotional abuse. Mary's Home is a high challenge, high support program that focuses on safety, stability, education, and career preparation. Mary’s Home mothers have a structured daily schedule of case management, therapy, and life skills courses that promote safety, security, health, character, and skills for future success.
