Most students in regular schools go home to a familiar environment where a parent or other guardian is present. Happy Hill Farm offers an alternative through the Resident Parent who represents the parental figure in a traditional home. These parents take on a very important role in shaping them to become people of character as opposed to people up to their ears in trouble or lawsuits.

Resident Parents can either be singles or couples. They are offered many employment benefits, which includes lodging, a competitive salary, and meals. Moreover, the role also serves as a vocation, urging adults regardless of age to accept the call of God to make an impact on the lives of young people.

The Resident Parents live in a large home with eight children, either boys or girls. The private quarters they receive is large enough for younger couples who want to start a family of their own.
At Happy Hill Farm, the Resident Parent is the primary role model for the children, with many support staff members serving in a supportive role. This is a ministry position that has a crucial role in the development of the students. This guidance could mean the difference between a life lived in outstanding virtue and a life riddled with wrongdoings and lawsuits.
