Children's Services' NH Summer Program. The New Hampshire Summer
Program is a residential treatment program for 150 boys and girls ages
7-18 with serious emotional and behavioral disorders (SED). Please
come to Dowling Hall, Room 745A on Tuesday, January 20th at 5:30pm to
learn more about their paid summer internship opportunities. Below is
a description of the NH Summer Program internship positions.
Job Descriptions:
Residential Counselors: As a part of a clinical team, work directly
with a group of 8-10 children or adolescents with serious emotional
and behavioral disorders (SED).
Special Education Assistants: Plan and implement active, learner-
centered language arts, math, and science curricula. When not
fulfilling the duties related to the classroom, Special Education
Assistants join Residential Counselors in supervising a group of 8-10
children with SED.
Therapeutic Activity Assistants: Specialized staff with training in
aquatics, athletics, and visual & performing arts, or other areas,
create and implement active, learner-centered curricula. Activity
Assistants, when not fulfilling the duties related to their
activities, join Residential Counselors in supervising a group of 8-10
children with SED.
Supervision and training are provided throughout the program by
clinical psychologists, social workers, special education
professionals, and licensed nurses.
Qualifications: Students must have completed at least two years of
college to meet and master the job demands of a direct care position.
Other positions require relevant credentials. The desire and ability
to work long hours on a staff team helping troubled children, at times
under stressful conditions is also required. Previous experience with
children or adolescents is desirable, but is not a prerequisite.
Similarly, relevant course work is helpful, but personal qualities are
even more important - such as the ability to work hard, the capacity
for working on a team, and the ability to use constructive feedback.
The ability to meet the physical demands of a rugged 450-acre campus
is also required.
Job dates: June 27 - August 23. All staff participate in lectures and
case conferences during two weeks of orientation - one week before the
children arrive, and one week after the children leave.
Benefits: Positions are paid, and include 750 hours of supervised
therapeutic experience and training, room & board, and an AmeriCorps
Educational Voucher worth $1,250 may be awarded to U.S. Citizens. All
staff receive five days off during the 45-day session.
We do not have a set application deadline. Hiring decisions are made
on a rolling basis, but send in your materials as soon as possible.
Please email tbeckum@wediko.org for more information and application.
