When Katie and her family moved to Tacoma in 2021, they missed the community they'd built in West Seattle - including their pandemic-era neighborhood PEPS Group. But Katie brought her networking and community-building skills with her, supporting the PEPS expansion in Pierce County as a guest speaker and PEPS Ambassador.

At PEPS, we work hard to foster a culture of care where employees are truly supported to thrive both professionally and personally. This culture goes beyond policies in a handbook - it's lived out every day in the ways we communicate, train staff, host meetings, and more.

When PEPS Development Director Marion needed to spend extended time in Germany to care for her aging parents, her team stepped up to ensure she had support. We believe honoring employees' full humanity is not only the right thing to do, but also an asset that makes our organization stronger and more resilient. It's part of why Marion has stayed at PEPS for 18+ years!

(Image Description: White and yellow text over a fuchsia background. Text reads: "Being able to care for my parents while maintaining my professional commitments has allowed me to show up fully in both spheres of my life. I’m more present with my family because I’m not consumed with worry about my job security. I’m more focused in my work because I’m not distracted by guilt about not being there for my parents. This is what a culture of care looks like in practice—not perfect solutions, but thoughtful ones. Not the absence of challenges, but the presence of support in navigating them. Not policies that sound good on paper, but lived experiences that honor the full complexity of human life." -Marion Mohrlok, PEPS Development Director)
