We believe that the best thing about us is our employees. Every employee thoroughly respresents the core values of our organization. We strive to support and care for our teams so that they can in turn provide quality services for the children and families they serve.

Compass has achieved the highest-level certification of Flourishing for organizational health, by the Best Christian Workplaces Institute for four years in a row. 

Our Culture

Compass is rooted in faith, built on strong relationships and striving for beyond.

We believe that changes are best made in proximity to one another. Christ’s love compels us to seek creative solutions that make a significant impact for children and families. We regard each other and the people we serve with dignity as image bearers of God. As a result of sin in our world, families and relationships can be strained. However, our calling is to help reconcile people to each other in light of the Church’s calling to reconcile people to God in 2 Corinthians 5.

The vision of Compass is to go BEYOND the challenges faced in our field.
