“Being recognized as a Best Place for Working Parents® is a powerful affirmation of our values as a social service nonprofit,” said Carol Klocek, CEO of Center for Transforming Lives. “Our work focuses on supporting single mothers and their children, and that begins with fostering a workplace where our own team members — many of whom are parents and caregivers — feel supported and valued. Family friendly policies aren’t just part of our culture, they’re a reflection of our mission. We are proud to create a workplace where families can thrive, and to invest in our greatest asset, which is our incredible team.”

Center for Transforming Lives’ family friendly benefits include a generous paid time off program, paid parental leave, employee assistance program, mental health support, continuing education tuition assistance, discounted childcare and more.
