Northwoodians

At Northwoods, our people are the core of our culture. We are thoughtful about who we hire, and we spend a lot of time developing meaningful relationships among coworkers.

We care deeply about our work and about each other. Our common drive and shared values are invigorating. We love to come to work each and every day (seriously!). Hear from real Northwoodians in this video about why they love working here!

Inside Our Den

Our work environment is anything but “corporate.” We dress casually and enjoy each other’s company. We treat one another like family, which means that along with working hard together, we also eat, laugh, and play together. Whether it is hanging out on our patio eating lunch, playing a competitive game of basketball, or having a drink in our bar (nicknamed the Grizzly), we purposefully invest time in getting to know each other!

Northwoods In The Community

Giving Back

Since Northwoods is all about human services, it probably won’t surprise you that we encourage a strong culture of helping others. We offer employees company time to volunteer in efforts together and for causes near and dear to their hearts.

Our employee-driven Northwoods Foundation, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, is another important way we give back to people in need in the communities in which our employees work and live.
