Learning Center Coordinator - Part Time
Presbyterian Children’s Homes and Services (PCHAS) is a faith-based organization guided by Christ’s love, dedicated to creating a world where every child is safe, every family is strong, and hope outshines hardship.
Through Christ-centered care, we empower children, young adults, and families by nurturing their strengths, resilience, and faith. We strive to serve like Jesus—meeting those we serve where they are, treating them with dignity and compassion, and walking alongside them with grace and understanding.
At PCHAS, we focus on the strengths and potential within each individual, encouraging those we serve to look forward with hope and confidence rather than being defined by past challenges. When we live out this mission well, we help children and families experience hope, thrive in their journeys, and know the enduring love of God.
