Starr Commonwealth Named One of the Best Nonprofits to Work For—Again! 

At Starr Commonwealth, we believe that healing happens in community—and that belief starts with our own. That’s why we are thrilled to share some truly heartwarming news: for the sixth year in a row, Starr Commonwealth has been recognized by The NonProfit Times as one of the Best Nonprofits to Work For in the United States! 

This incredible honor places us among the top 50 nonprofit organizations nationwide, highlighting our steadfast commitment to creating a workplace where purpose, compassion, and innovation come together every single day. 

What Makes This Recognition So Special? 

Unlike other awards, this recognition isn’t just based on policies, but on our experiences. The selection process, led by The NonProfit Times and Best Companies Group, includes a two-part assessment: 

  • 25% based on a rigorous review of workplace policies and practices 
  • 75% based on a confidential survey of our employees 

That means this award is a true reflection of how our staff feels about working here—and that makes it all the more meaningful. 

Elizabeth Carey, our President and CEO, captured it best: 

“This is truly remarkable, and it is because of our incredible staff. Starr has an incredible history and purpose, but what makes us able to achieve our mission is all our staff—those who dedicate their ideas, energy, and passion to ensuring children have the opportunity to heal and grow up healthy.” 

At Starr, we know that culture isn’t just something we talk about, it’s something we live. Our team thrives in an environment built on a shared purpose. 

Whether it’s in Michigan or across the globe, the ripple effect of our work is made possible by the people behind it—our extraordinary staff. 

Here’s to Six Years—and Many More! 

To be honored once is humbling. To be recognized six years in a row is a testament to the heart, resilience, and dedication of the entire Starr family. Thank you to our team for making Starr not just a great place to work—but a place where healing, growth, and belonging flourish every day.
