CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER

ABOUT SENECA FAMILY OF AGENCIES

Seneca Family of Agencies (formerly Seneca Center) was founded in 1985 as a small Bay Area residential and day treatment program with a simple but powerful mission: to help children and families through the most difficult times of their lives. Since then, Seneca has expanded to provide a broad continuum of permanency, mental health, education, and juvenile justice services, which today reach over 18,000 youth and families throughout California and Washington State each year.

The organization is driven by the fundamental belief that children and families do not themselves fail, but rather are failed by systems unable to meet their complex needs. Guided by their core agency values of love and compassion, hope and courage, respect, curiosity, joy, equity and justice, Seneca refuses to fail the young people and families we serve. Seneca offers each child and family a profound promise: you will be supported every step of your journey, no matter what challenges you face along the way. Seneca Family of Agencies has been named a Top Workplace for the past eight years and we pride ourselves on being an innovative leader in the provision of comprehensive school, community-based and family-focused treatment services for children and families experiencing varying levels of trauma and disruption. Our vision for service is an integrated community-engaged approach with high standards of practice. Our workplace culture values diverse perspectives, collaboration, and a commitment to professional development.
