Staff

Our program is only as good as our staff.  We seek out talented professionals who will establish meaningful and lasting relationships.  Our counselors are trained to be sensitive to individual challenges, while helping to foster a group spirit.  Several of our staff members have successfully emerged from the foster care system, serving as outstanding role models for the children and making their experiences a resource for our other staff members.
