“Organizations are only as strong as the people who live and breathe their mission each day,” said President and CEO Elizabeth Carey. “From our first recognition from The NonProfit Times in 2020 to today’s honor, every individual at Starr Commonwealth has helped propel us forward. Being named among the Best NonProfits To Work For is a testament to the care our staff brings to our collective passion of creating positive experiences so that all children, families, and communities can flourish. I couldn’t be more proud of each and every one of them.”
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.
