Our Team

Our families are diverse, and our staff reflects that diversity; at least 75 percent bring lived experience similar to the families we serve.

We welcome people of all backgrounds and do not discriminate on any protected basis.

Apprentices

Seeded by the Annie E. Casey Foundation, our paid 9-month Apprenticeship Program trains youth (17+), kinship caregivers, and parents who’ve completed our programs to lead. Apprentices gain skills in peer support, community leadership, and workforce readiness, with pathways to join our team, continue training, or launch into meaningful careers.
