We provide CO-OP’s Residential Services in comfortable, secure homes with various levels of skills training and staff support available. Individual lifestyle choices are supported through community involvement, relationship building, and through collaboration with family members. CO-OP’s Employment Services offer a flexible menu available on a full or part-time basis, and placement services focus on interests and strengths and support a variety of needs. We also provide Consultation, Career Planning, Job Exploration, and Job Coaching & Support.

Our day programs also offer employment support to eligible individuals interested in part-time work.
