  • Encourage individuals to participate, try new experiences, and build confidence through personal accomplishments.

  • Help individuals practice social skills and develop connections through experiences in their communities.
  • Transport participants safely in agency vehicles for scheduled outings, appointments, and activities.

  • Monitor individual well-being and communicate concerns promptly to appropriate supervisors.
  • Help maintain a program environment that is clean, organized, and safe for everyone.

See the Impact of Your Work

Progress can look different for every individual.

It could mean successfully completing a new task, participating in an activity for the first time, making a decision independently, becoming more comfortable in the community, or developing a skill that creates greater independence.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
