Answer a Calling. Build a Home. Change a Life.
Boys & Girls Country's mission is to change the lives of children from families in crisis by loving and nurturing them in a Christian home, raising them to become self-sustaining and contributing adults. For over 50 years, Boys & Girls Country has provided a loving, stable Christian home for children whose families cannot care for them.
Located in Hockley, Texas, just northwest of Houston, Boys & Girls Country serves boys and girls ages 5–18, along with young adults in our College & Career Program.
We are seeking compassionate and mission-minded Houseparents to join our Christian residential ministry.

It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
