Centre currently employs 180 individuals across facilities in Fargo, Grand Forks, Mandan, and Williston. Each employee plays a valuable role in Centre’s mission to help individuals achieve social reintegration. Centre’s Wellness Committee has developed a new employee recognition program in which employees can be nominated for demonstrating a featured core value.
Centre’s core values are Integrity, Compassion, Empowerment, and Safety & Security. Below is a spotlight on May’s winner for Compassion, Chyanne Huling, along with a list of the other winners from January through June!
May’s winner for Compassion was Residential Specialist Chyanne Huling, who joined Centre in December 2023 and works in Centre’s Stabilization Center in Williston.
We asked Williston Program Director Cynthia Long how Chyanne has exemplified Compassion in her role.
Since joining the Williston team in December 2023 as one of our first hires, Chyanne has shown unwavering dedication - growing from our Food Services and Housekeeping Specialist to Residential Specialist II and a member of our weekend on-call team, all while continuing her food services role. Chyanne has a natural ability to connect with clients in a way that is both uplifting and deeply respectful. Her compassion shines through in every interaction, as she supports each client’s journey with empathy, kindness, and a true desire to help them grow and heal. We’re proud to have Chyanne on our team and grateful for the heart she brings to work every day.
From Chyanne’s nomination for the Employee Spotlight:
Chyanne goes above and beyond for not only our clients but also her fellow staff. Being a new employee, she has made me feel welcome and part of the team. I see Chyanne stop whatever she is doing to take time out and listen to a client who needs an ear. I have also seen her advocate full-heartedly for our clients who won’t or can’t advocate for themselves. She comes to work with a smile on her face and is always looking at the bright side of any situation.
