Knowledge, Skills, & Abilities

• Well suited to working with adolescents. Essential qualities are patience, a sense of humor, and an appreciation for the ways adolescents are different from adults.

• Highly motivated. Creativity, attentiveness, and adaptability are necessary in order to provide the best possible experience for students in the program.
• Flexible and able to work under pressure. Our programs are intense and fast-paced, and there is not always a clear difference between being “on duty” and “off duty.” Staff members must be able to keep up with the demands of a rigorous residential schedule and be prepared to pitch in if an unexpected circumstance arises.
