ABOUT CHILDHAVEN
For over 110 years Childhaven has been a leader in serving children, families, and communities that
have experienced trauma and adversity. In the past few years, we have been adding services and
locations, becoming more community-based, and forming partnerships to increase our impact. In
June 2020, Childhaven consolidated with Renton Area Youth and Family Services (RAYS) and Art
with Heart, which further expanded our capacity to better serve more children, families, and
communities. By combining our legacy of healing-centered care, with the expertise of our new
partners, Childhaven is building a continuum of care model that is unlike any other in the Puget
Sound Region.

We are proud to be a values-driven organization that serves families from diverse communities. Our
values are the compass we use to get us there. They guide us in the way we treat each other, the
decisions we make, and the success we achieve. Values are the touchstones to chart and guide our
behavior, and reflect our commitment to:

• TEAMWORK: Relationships come first.
• EQUITY: There’s infinite value in every human.
• EXCELLENCE: Constructively dissatisfied with the status quo.
• DEDICATION: Do more. Do better.
• RESPECT: Meet people where they are.
• REFLECTION: Feelings Matter. Stepping back and exploring possibilities.

Going forward, we are embarking on a new and very ambitious strategic impact plan to further
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 partnerships with other community-based organizations, 
referral sources, government agencies, and universities. In so doing, we are opening doors to a host
of new roles and opportunities within the organization. And that’s where you come in.

ABOUT YOU
You are a passionate, driven, and dedicated individual who is excited by this opportunity to bring
your own life experience of having life difficulties i.e.: involvement with juvenile justice, academic
difficulties, lack of family support/engagement etc. to engage students in similar situations with their
own resilience stories. You desire to use this diverse mix of experience and skills to advance our
work. You share our vision to help ensure that all children are safe and healthy; thriving physically,
socially emotionally and educationally; and well nurtured by family and by their community. You too
are constructively dissatisfied with the status quo, embrace continuous improvement, and heed the
call to better serve more. You are equal parts learner, leader, and mentor… and see around the
corners of a challenge, replaying the question of “What if” with a reply of “Why not”.

You proactively break down silos and nurture a cohesive and collaborative team that prioritizes “we”
and “ours” over “I” and “my”. You foster an environment of belonging, healing, and relationship building - and recognize that feelings matter. You take initiative, participate fully, and engage deeply,
all while maintaining a sense of humor and having fun. You whole-heartedly embrace diversity,
equity, inclusion, and culture. You are curious, courageous, and reflective – and willing to bring your
humanity to work.
If this sounds like you – we need to meet - and talk more about the positive impact we could
have together.
