“We were thrilled to once again be recognized as one of the best nonprofits to work for this year—especially considering the caliber of like-minded organizations with which we share this accolade,” said President and CEO Elizabeth Carey. “Considering the stress and challenges of this past year, it speaks volumes about our team as they remain resilient. Moving forward with what we have learned, our communication is as open as ever, our processes have been streamlined, and I am confident our best is still ahead of us.”
From its headquarters in Albion, Michigan, Starr Commonwealth blends three key focuses – healing trauma, addressing racism, and fostering positive growth – into a comprehensive model of working with youth that is unique in the nation. Unlike other agencies that focus on trauma and resilience, Starr offers tangible tools for teachers, social workers, healthcare professionals, and others on the front line of working with children.
Through its training and coaching programs, childcare professionals, clinicians, educators, and parents have access to Starr’s highly successful and innovative techniques aimed at bringing out the best in every child, parent, and community. Many of its classes are available online.
