    I would describe that person as Scott Peck (et al) has described them: loving.

    Love

    Someone who loves like a mentor, acts as a teacher, and gets something out of it - a sense of achievement, or satisfaction, or something.

    In a none authoritative position? I might describe them as hopeful, genuine, selfless to a fault, and insecure or uncertain of their worth. I can't think of any one word whose description sums it up.
