Join our team of caring and compassionate professionals that work in our South Hadley Girls Treatment Program. Our program provides adolescent girls with the educational, life skills, therapeutic, recreational, and support services needed to improve their behavior. The goal is for these girls to return home and back to their communities. Residents attend high school classes or GED courses and participate in a curriculum designed to impart new life skills to enable them to make healthier choices when re-entering their communities.
