Our Culture
At TCN, we believe our employees’ voices matter. During one of our biannual All Staff meetings, we asked our team to share the values that guide how they show up in their lives and in their work. The conversation was rich and inspiring, and from their contributions emerged the values that form our CARES acronym:
Compassion
Accountability
Respect
Empathy
Service
These values were created by our staff, and we’re proud to carry them forward. We encourage everyone at TCN to continue embodying CARES each day—whether working with clients, collaborating with colleagues, or engaging in our communities.
What TCN CARES Means for You
Working at TCN means being part of a team that understands the weight and importance of this work. Our CARES values guide how we support staff, not just the services we provide.
You’ll Be Treated Like a Person, Not a Position
Compassion means your experiences, emotions, and well-being matter. You’re encouraged to be human here, especially on hard days.
You’ll Be Trusted and Supported to Grow
Accountability and empowerment go hand in hand. You’ll be trusted to use your judgment, learn from experience, and build confidence in your role, with guidance when you need it.
You’ll Be Respected
Your voice matters. Respect shows up in how we communicate, how decisions are made, and how differences in background, identity, and perspective are valued.
You Won’t Be Expected to Do This Alone
Support is built into how we work. From peer connection to supervision, you’ll have people who understand the work and are there when things feel heavy.
You’ll Be Part of Something Meaningful
CARES isn’t a slogan. It’s how we show up for each other and the community. Your work makes a real impact, and it’s recognized.
Our Commitment to You
At TCN, we are committed to creating a workplace where staff feel safe, valued, and equipped to do this work well and sustainably.
