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.”
