RISE (Residential Interns Seeking Excellence)
Eliada’s RISE (Residential Interns Seeking Excellence) program is an once in a lifetime opportunity for recent college graduates to get hands-on experience in the field. RISE interns agree to a one year service commitment in which they work as residential counselors in each of Eliada’s residential programs.
RISE interns have the opportunity to learn and implement several therapeutic modalities including ART, PPC, skill streaming, and the Eliada model. Each intern has the opportunity to work closely with therapists, case managers, and administrators by attending important weekly and monthly meetings about an individual child’s treatment. RISE interns live on our beautiful campus in furnished facilities, receive an hourly stipend, and get the same benefits as our full-time employees.
While the RISE experience can be challenging, the RISE year is also full of fun and educational opportunities including group building activities with therapists, retreats, and a year-long project in which interns explore an academic area of interest.
