What compass center for families does

Compass Center for Families is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization operating in Sheridan and Johnson Counties, Wyoming, with offices in Sheridan and Buffalo. The organization delivers four core human-services programs: supervised Family Visitation (including court-ordered and therapeutic exchanges), Parent Enrichment and Education (including the Crossroads of Coparenting course), CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) advocacy for abused and neglected children, and a Parent Liaison program embedded within schools and the broader community. Services are provided at no direct cost to participating families and are staffed by approximately 20 personnel holding certifications in trauma-informed care and related specialties.

The operating model is grant- and donation-funded rather than commercial. Revenue is generated through individual donations, corporate sponsorships, and recurring fundraising events such as the Compass Gala and Champions for Children. Demand channels are primarily court referrals for visitation and CASA work, and institutional partners (notably Sheridan County School District #2) for the Parent Liaison program. There is no proprietary software, digital platform, or technology product underlying service delivery; all interventions are human-mediated.

Strategically, the organization has invested in leadership continuity (Tifany Resser as Executive Director since 2023), capacity-building hires (marketing coordinator added November 2023), curriculum expansion (Crossroads of Coparenting), and sector leadership via board representation on the Supervised Visitation Network National Board. Geographic expansion beyond the two-county service area is not evident in the available evidence; growth signals are programmatic rather than territorial.
