ABOUT CHILDHAVEN

We are an Organization dedicated to serving the full range of cultural diversity in our community, and to providing families with care that is relevant to them and their values. As a member of Childhaven staff, you will be encouraged to contribute to community engagement strategies.  We are an equal opportunity employer with a strong racial equity philosophy and we strive to make Childhaven a great place to work by living our values: Teamwork, Diversity, Equity, Excellence, Dedication, and Respect.

Since 1909 Childhaven has been a leader in serving children and families who have experienced trauma and adversity. In the past few years, we have been adding services and locations, becoming more family and community-focused, and forming high impact partnerships to increase our impact. In June 2020, Childhaven consolidated with Renton Area Youth and Family Services and Art with Heart, which further expanded our capacity to better serve more children and families. By combining our 110+ year legacy of early childhood trauma care with the power and expertise of our new partners, Childhaven is building a continuum of care model that is unlike any other in the Puget Sound Region.

Going forward, we are embarking on a new and ambitious strategic plan to strengthen programs, expand impact, and embrace innovation. In the next five years our goals are to double the number of locations and quadruple the number of children and families we are serving - all while developing and strengthening strategic partnerships with other community-based organizations, referral sources, government agencies, and universities. In doing so, we are opening doors to new roles and opportunities within the organization. And that is where you come in.
