Come Work with Us!

There are numerous employment opportunities at PEP for people who want to make a difference. At PEP, we believe a child should know some joy in each day. Together, we work really hard to make sure it happens. The teamwork and comradery that happen at PEP are special. As we work together and see our kids start to overcome their challenges, it forms a bond between us that is unique. Ask a “PEPper” what they like most about their job and after “making a difference,” you’ll most likely hear, “the people I work with.”

 

Recognized nationally for excellence, PEP is committed to fostering a trauma-informed workforce that promotes healing and understanding.

Since its founding in 1971, PEP has maintained that every child – no matter the situation, struggle or circumstance – should experience some joy in each day. We are looking for empathetic mental health professionals and educators committed to helping children with severe behavioral issues, emotional disturbances, autism and other special needs to overcome and thrive.

“A lot of the time people think of the CEO…as the person in charge – the boss. My job is to help other people, to support them, not to tell them what to do.”

PEP CEO, Habeebah Grimes

PEP was launched in 1971 with the philosophy of Re-ED at its core. Every day PEP strengthens minds with heart – holding a mirror for children to see their gifts and their value.
