Program Counselor

Reset Canada is a 4-week Digital Detox and Life Skills program for teens. Utilizing a post-secondary campus for our program allows us to host both recreational activities, access public transit and provides space for therapeutic sessions. At Reset, we strive to ensure we are providing an enriching experience to allow participants and staff to engage, learn and grow.
Program Counsellours at Reset are a vital component of our team. They are ultimately responsible for the health and wellbeing of participants, from dawn to dusk and beyond. Program Counsellours will be required to assist with programming and will need to have proficiency in written and oral communications, the ability to adjust and adapt on the go, and have a positive and willing energy. As role models to our participants, it will be expected that our team withholds the mission and values of Reset, by joining in a Digital Detox and engaging in healthy relationships with technology.
