About the School
Located in Hershey, PA, the Milton Hershey School (MHS) is a premier home and school providing an extraordinary, cost-free, career-focused education to over 2,200 pre-K through 12th-grade students from disadvantaged backgrounds. Established in 1909 by Milton and Catherine Hershey, the school is fully endowed, ensuring that its mission to serve students continues to expand. With over 12,000 graduates, MHS remains a testament to the founders' foresight and generosity.
About the Role
MHS is seeking married couples to serve as Full-time Flex Houseparents in a unique, life-changing career. In this role, couples reside in on-campus student homes to provide care, guidance, supervision, and support for a group of approximately 8–13 students. Flex Houseparents are vital to creating a structured, family-like environment that fosters students' academic, emotional, and social development, enabling them to reach their full potential.
The position begins with a flexible schedule where houseparents support various student homes, working nine consecutive days on duty followed by three days off. During weekdays, houseparents have unscheduled time while students are in school. Over time, successful Flex Houseparents transition into a Placed Houseparent role, living and working permanently with the same group of students in their own student home.

Our Culture
MHS staff serve as role models for students, requiring a demonstrated commitment to integrity and professionalism. The campus is committed to being smoke-free and weapon-free, with no alcohol permitted while on duty. The environment is Judeo-Christian in nature, with houseparents expected to lead daily devotions and accompany students to Sunday Chapel services (proselytizing is prohibited). This career choice demands a high level of commitment to student success from both spouses.
