About You

• You need “grit”. In this line of work, some days are challenging. When the going gets tough, you have to be tougher.

• You need to advocate. The people we support sometimes have difficulty speaking for themselves, so you need to learn about their needs and support them.
• You need to mentor. Our day-to-day work involves teaching people the skills they need to succeed. You have to be patient and dedicated to their progress.
