Program Counselor

The Adair County SB40 Developmental Disability Board is now accepting applications for the Youth Employment Program. Energetic, experienced, organized, person-centered, and team-oriented staff are needed to support adolescents who are 16-18 years of age (or through the end of high school) and have intellectual/developmental disabilities. The number of counselors hired will be dependent upon the enrollment of youth. These are temporary summer positions. The Youth Employment Program will run daily, Monday-Friday, 8:45AM-3:15PM, July 11th-15th for students age 16-18. Training dates prior to the 15th will be announced at a later date.

Program Counselors are responsible for providing continuous staffing and support to adolescents with developmental/intellectual disabilities participating in the Youth Employment Program. Duties many include, but are not limited to: modeling appropriate behavior and social skills, job coaching, assisting the Program Skills Teacher with the implementation of curriculum and activities, and assisting individuals with participation in all program activities.
