About Elaine Celaya

Nonprofit executive with 25+ years of experience building programs that serve children, youth, and families — especially in early childhood, parenting, prevention, and foster care.🤝 Relationships are everything. I lead with inclusion, empathy, and collaboration. I have an eye for talent and love building strong teams and future leaders.🫱‍🫲 I’m about WE, not ME.

Current company

Cayuga Centers

Individual and Family Services · 690 employees · Founded 1852 · Auburn, New York, United States

Since 1852, Cayuga Centers has been caring for vulnerable children, families, and individuals. While we work to keep families together, we provide them with psychological, medical, and educational support. As a nonprofit with 171 years of caring for children and families, we always put their needs first. Our organization offers a holistic and data-informed approach to social services by breaking the cycle of trauma and providing a bundle, multisystemic technique to child and family services. We tend to the specific needs of each family by creating a tailored service plan for each youth and by meeting families where they are - we do this by involving the entire community surrounding a child, offering in-home therapy, 24/7 on-call support, an entire treatment team, and in-depth coaching and training for foster parents. We believe this approach creates an environment that allows the foster youth to heal and for families to grow stronger. No matter where they come from, no matter what they’ve been through, it is our aim to restore a smile to the faces of those we serve. We implement evidence-based treatment programs that successfully address youth and family life issues, and we are a nationally accredited nonprofit human services agency headquartered in Auburn, NY. Cayuga Centers is committed to cultivating an environment that is LGBTQIA+ inclusive - for children, youth and their families, individuals, foster parents, employees, and the communities we serve. Everyone is welcome here. Cayuga Centers is an Equal Opportunity Employer. Our services and employment are provided in a nondiscriminatory manner, without regard to race, sex, color, national origin, ancestry, religious creed, disability, and age.
