About Better Together ND
When Better Together ND was founded in June 2022 by Mason Ware and Marie Knodel in Fargo, the vision was simple and powerful: to ensure that no North Dakotan has to navigate the road to recovery alone. In just a few short years, that vision has expanded statewide.
Better Together ND has grown into a vital support network serving communities across North Dakota through the Free Through Recovery, Community Connect, and 1915(i) programs. With regional hubs in Fargo, Grand Forks, Wahpeton, Bismarck, and Dickinson, the organization provides essential care coordination and peer support services that bridge healthcare, housing initiatives, and social services. At every level, the work is guided by the belief that meaningful recovery happens when people are supported, respected, and connected.
A Foundation For Success
Better Together ND’s growth reflects both the increasing need for compassionate, low-barrier support and the strength of its mission-driven culture. The organization is guided by its core values of Compassion, Integrity, and Equity, with a strong emphasis on high-quality service delivery and collaboration with community partners.
Internally, this mission shapes how team members work each day. Rather than simply managing cases, staff build genuine relationships that help individuals regain stability and independence while strengthening the communities they call home. Employees consistently describe the work as challenging and deeply rewarding.
Hiring For
Looking into 2026, Better Together ND anticipates hiring for:
- Care coordinators
- Peer support specialists
- Director of Operations (anticipated mid-2026)

A Thoughtful, Supportive Start
oining Better Together ND feels less like starting a job and more like joining a movement. Because the work is impactful, onboarding is intentionally designed to be both comprehensive and supportive. New hires receive thorough training in care coordination while also being immersed in a culture rooted in empathy, collaboration, and connection.
From day one, staff are supported in prioritizing strong client outcomes and effectively leveraging community partnerships. This approach ensures that new team members feel confident in their roles while building meaningful relationships across the organization.
Investing in Employee Wellness and Growth
Better Together ND believes that caring for others begins with caring for its staff. The organization invests in professional development through specialized training opportunities, conference attendance, and community engagement that allow employees to strengthen their skills and grow professionally.
Connection and morale are equally important. Team-building activities and organizationhosted community events foster trust, collaboration, and a sense of belonging among staff, clients, and partners. In a unique commitment to employee wellness, Better Together ND also offers access to a corporate membership at Immersion LLC, providing sauna and cold plunge experiences that support overall well-being.

Better Together ND seeks individuals who lead with heart and are passionate about helping others while strengthening North Dakota communities.
