"I have had the pleasure of witnessing amazing growth and
 change in the individuals we serve. I don't think of my
 employment as a job but as an opportunity to experience
 something new and different each day."

"There is nothing like the feeling you get when helping someone
 achieve a goal or overcome an obstacle. I have been told I have
 a heart of gold. I smile because I know it's only because my 
 heart has been touched by all the people I work with."

"I came to COARC after working 9 years in a school district and I wish I had come here years ago.  COARC is most definitely an employer with heart.  Never in any other job have I felt more appreciated and cared about." As an Employment Trainer I get to assist our consumers in finding work in the community on a competitive level, it makes my day to see someone achieve their goals.  If you feel unappreciated in your current job and love to work with people give COARC a try, you won't regret it.  I tell all my friends to come here!"
