The Wediko Summer Program is a short term residential treatment program that serves approximately 150 children with emotional and behavioral difficulties each summer. Each year, we hire a group of dedicated, ambitious, and talented individuals to make the program meaningful and successful for each child. We offer a unique opportunity for students who are interested in psychology, social work, sociology, anthropology and other social science careers and we are already recruiting graduate and undergraduate students to be a part of a paid internship opportunity for Summer 2013. The Wediko Summer Program uses a strengths-based model and trains staff extensively in behavior management, crisis intervention, group formation, and child development theories. Our internship provides students with 750 clinical hours, two supervisions per week, and the opportunity to work with experienced professionals in the mental health field.
