Our Mission & Impact Power House Sober Living is a faith‑based nonprofit that supports individuals in recovery by providing safe, drug- and alcohol-free housing and a nurturing sober community as each person rebuilds and reclaims their lives. Since 2018, Power House has served 49 men on their journey toward sobriety, stability, and independence. Our program offers nurturing home environments grounded in Christian fellowship, daily accountability, and personal growth in areas such as financial literacy, career development, and family restoration. Staff and guests partner together to create a supportive, disciplined, and encouraging community where God’s healing work is visible and lasting transformation becomes possible.

In the past year alone, 17 men have experienced Power House’s recovery community. The program is working. Our 2025 Guest and Alumni Feedback Survey found that: 72% reported remaining clean and sober for over one year; nearly 45% reported staying sober for over 3 years; 94% found employment during their stay; 94% repaired family ties and restored relationships; and 44% returned to school.

Working With Us Working at Power House means stepping into a mission that is service oriented and deeply rooted in faith. We serve our guests with unwavering respect and high accountability. To lead by example and ensure the safety of our community, we maintain a strictly drug-free and alcohol-free work environment. Our team operates on a foundation of high trust and radical ownership. Whether in a remote or hybrid role, you will have the flexibility for self-directed work within a disciplined, proactive framework.

The Ideal Candidate We look for team members who are “stewards” of the mission, who follow through, communicate with clarity, and take full responsibility for outcomes. This is a collaborative, lean environment where every role directly advances our reach. Whether you are coordinating services, managing operations, or building community partnerships, your work contributes to real, life-changing impact.

This role requires a strategic thinker who can initiate new opportunities, deepen existing collaborations, and represent Power House with professionalism and warmth across all stakeholder groups.
