This is Greg Stone, the Staff Coordinator for Shelterwood. Shelterwood is a Christian therapeutic boarding school located in Independence, Missouri (just east of Kansas City) (www.shelterwood.org). We house 50-60 on average teenage boys and girls from across the country who are struggling with family, life, and themselves. Our school, team of licensed counselors, and leadership work with college graduate men and women who give a year of their lives to live and work with the teens. We focus not only on counseling the child, but also the parents. Our focus is on restoring families.
Our mentors, most college graduates at least 21 years of age receive $1,000 a month stipend plus free room and board and insurance benefits during their year in Shelterwood. Our staff come from across the country. Some of the most common degrees of our staff include: Psychology, Social Work, Sociology, Criminal Justice, and Youth Ministry
