JOB DESCRIPTION
About St. Ann’s Center for Children, Youth, and Families
St. Ann’s is committed to lifting vulnerable children, mothers, and families out of poverty and homelessness. Our innovative housing and support programs build upon a family’s inherent strengths by providing the tools for life-long independence and self-sufficiency. Founded in 1860 by the Daughters of Charity, the mission and vision of St. Ann’s Center is inspired by Catholic social teachings. Our highly-trained staff and volunteers recognize the dignity of every human life and create a vibrant community where every child and mother has the opportunity to reach their full potential.
