　　Are you looking for meaningful work that provides you rich fulfillment? To be part of a close-knit team? Are you looking for a job in which you see directly (and often immediately!) the difference you are making in people’s lives?

　　You would be trained in the Therapeutic Crisis Intervention (TCI) approved behavior modification program (receiving a certification!)

　　You will be a vital part of the youth’s growth and development
