Life Connections Program Spiritual Guide – $20–$23 per hour, based on experience- Fort Dix, New Jersey

Looking for flexible, part-time work that fits your schedule while allowing you to make a real difference? Want paid orientation, steady weekday hours, and the opportunity to guide others through meaningful faith-based discussions?

This role gives you consistent income, a structured schedule, and the chance to see the direct impact of your guidance. You will work up to 20 hours per week, typically Monday through Thursday, five hours per day, excluding Federal Holidays. This is a 1099 contract position.

You will help participants reflect, grow, and build practical life skills rooted in faith traditions. Your presence and leadership can encourage accountability, respect, and personal development. When participants engage and grow, you will see the results of your work firsthand.

What you’ll gain

• Strengthen your teaching and group facilitation skills
• Build experience working across diverse faith backgrounds
• Gain professional exposure within a federal institution
• Receive paid institution orientation before you begin
• Earn reliable, consistent part-time income
• Every session you lead builds your confidence and expands your real-world ministry or educational experience.

You bring:

• A Bachelor’s degree in religious studies, education, or a related field
• Active membership in a recognized faith community
• A letter of reference from a Pastor, Imam, or Spiritual Leader
• Experience working with adults in a classroom or community setting
• The ability to work respectfully across multiple faith traditions
