The Global Youth Village is located in the southwestern part of Virginia, a four to five hour drive southwest of Washington, D.C. It is situated in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, on a beautiful 80-acre wooded site with a stream, soccer field, basketball court, classroom buildings, pool, outdoor stage, gardens, art studios, computer lab, staff lounge, a health center and a dining facility.
Accommodations for counseling staff are in cabins with youth. Other staff are housed in similar cabins, but with adult staff only. (Housing for couples or families is very limited. Please inquire as to availability prior to applying, if this is a need for you. ) Centralized bathhouses serve each cluster of cabins. Select program areas are air-conditioned. Sleeping areas are not.
The Global Youth Village serves a delicious vegetarian (ovo-lacto) diet with dishes representing various international cuisines. Special dietary needs can usually be met. Poultry or fish entrees are served on rare occasions.
Sorry, you fit right at the in-between age range. Our program ages are 15-18 and staff positions are generally filled by those 21 or older. You could look at positions in food service and apply as sometimes we do consider younger applicants for those positions.
