Operating with a $24M annual budget and a $24M endowment, MHC provides 25 unique services—four of which are provided exclusively by MHC statewide—to more than 1,300 children and families each year. MHC is a recognized leader in early childhood education, foster care and adoption, family preservation, and juvenile justice programs.
With the upcoming retirement of our long-serving CEO, we are seeking a dynamic and faithful leader to guide MHC into its future—building on a strong foundation of service, compassion, and community.
