Kids Peace Work Values

Daily Duties at Kids Peace:

Developing and implementing new Court Diversion program that immediately links children removed by DCF to counseling services. Writing Bio-Psychosocial Assessments and other intake documents.

Some case work involving researching new clients' contact information and whereabouts to ensure requested services are delivered.

What they like about Kids Peace:

A hiring company that offers alternative approaches to pay, performance bonuses, and/or equity in the firm is very attractive to you. You're generally less interested in working for an organization offering only traditional, salary-based compensation, one with limited opportunity to acquire equity in the firm, or one that does not actively promote skill development. In addition, you are more likely to choose a company that offers a variety of internal career options, with defined career paths. You view the learning of new skills and development of your expertise as key to your career advancement. These aspects of an organization may become even more important to you as you progress in your field, and are especially critical if you change career or occupation.
