Jay Wolter

Jay is the son of Becket's founder, John J. Wolter. His commitment to Becket has been life-long. As a youth, Jay attended Becket for five years and participated in several Becket Adventures wilderness trips. As a young adult, Jay worked at the school before embarking on a legal career following his graduation from Georgetown Law School (cum laude). After practicing health law for several years, Jay returned to Becket in 1993 as President & Executive Director of the former Pike School. Jay renamed the school Becket School and began oversight of the transition of this small residential treatment program into what is now known as Becket. During his tenure, Jay has played a key role in the development of nearly fifty new programs and services. He has also founded the Oliverian School and the Mountain Valley Treatment Center, specialized providers that are no longer affiliated with the Becket. Jay resides in Hanover, NH with his wife, Colleen, and four boys, Shane, Christian, Ryan and Brendan.
