Welcome
At CHD, we believe in strong families, healthy communities, and human potential.
Our Mission
The Center for Human Development (CHD) provides a broad range of high-quality, community-oriented human services dedicated to promoting, enhancing, and protecting the dignity and welfare of people in need.
Celebrating Differences
At CHD, inclusion isn’t just a policy – it’s a daily practice.
Multicultural, multilingual, and fluent in sign language, CHD is a reflection of those we serve.
Our non-discrimination policies include sexual orientation and gender identity. Our diversity training includes candid discussions of race, gender, ethnicity, and LGBTQ+ issues.
We celebrate diversity in employees, participants, and ourselves and are always working to enhance our cultural awareness.
