Meet Other Wediko Staff & Clinicians

Residential Counselors and Assistant Teachers

Residential counselors and assistant teachers arrive at the Wediko School from three angles:

1. They are recent college graduates exploring careers in the helping/social service fields'
2. They worked in the Wediko Summer Program, or
3. They interned at Wediko while in college.

Typically, potential staff are one to three years out of college and are interested in gaining experience in the field.  Many staff work one to three years at Wediko and begin pursuing a masters or doctorial degree.

Wediko is committed to training and education, a tuition reimbursement benefit is offered for those who pursue their graduate degree while continuing to work at Wediko.

As an agency we work to hire staff who are committed to children and are up for the challenge of working with a difficult and complex population.  Our staff, in turn are very committed to the children, our mission, and this experience in their lives.  As a result Wediko has developed a large network of “staff alumni” who are leaders in the fields of education (both K-12 and college), psychology, (research and clinical), social work, and law.
