“I have worked various jobs through my years and I can honestly say this was the first job I had where I actually looked forward to coming to work. I felt that what we were trying to do with young men’s lives was important, beneficial and mostly because it had purpose!”

“All my life I worked in the corporate world. I have a great career but not as content where I am now. I believed I found my vocation in working with homeless, at-risk youth. I feel this is the most rewarding work I’ve ever done in my life. Can’t you tell? I have been here for 8 years now and everyday feels like my first day at work.”

“I can honestly say that when I first joined on at CHV, it was because I needed a part-time job while attending university—I had to pay the bills. Within a very short amount of time, I fell in love with the culture of Covenant House and found myself seeking a permanent position. What has kept me invested in this agency is not only the genuine care for the youth of whom we serve, but also for one another, as members of the CHV family. I thank my lucky stars on a regular basis that I work for such a great organization. It is an incredibly unique place to work; one with many unique opportunities for career development as well.”
