At Wilder, Your Work Can Change Lives.
Including Your Own.

We believe all people deserve the opportunity to thrive. Every day, our teams walk alongside children, families, and all members of our communities as they build stability, wellness, and possibility. But we also believe something just as important. Supporting whole families begins with supporting the whole person — including you. When you join Wilder, you join a community rooted in purpose, belonging, and shared commitment.

Your Work Matters Here. And So Do You.

Our work spans direct services, advocacy, and research, strengthening families and advancing equity across our communities. Whether you’re working directly with families, conducting research, supporting operations, or leading strategy, you’ll work alongside people who care about the work and about one another. At Wilder, we’re Here for Good. You won’t just find colleagues. You’ll find partners in purpose.

A Workplace Grounded in Belonging

We know that strong communities are built from diverse perspectives, lived experiences, and voices that have been historically underrepresented. At Wilder, we are committed to equity in our practices, our leadership, and our culture. Belonging isn’t a buzzword here. It’s a responsibility we take seriously.

We strive to create a workplace where people feel seen, heard, and respected, differences are valued as strengths, growth is supported and encouraged, and accountability and compassion coexist. Grow with us at Wilder, where community and care come first.
