As I look back over the 23 years that I have served Mission Road clients and staff, there are several reasons for why I am here.  
First reason that I am here is that I believe God wants me here.  It took 13 months from when I submitted my resume to the day I started working. I think God was making sure that I had the patience for what I would be doing here at Mission Road.  

Do you want a job that matters? Do you want a job with purpose? A job that really makes a difference?  We got that!  We are hiring caring people to work with children with special needs.  This summer we need kind and patient peope like you to share their days and nights caring for our children. Take our kids to the doctor. Help them with school work. Laugh with them as you glue, glitter and color with them. Swing. Swim. Dance.

"After serving 27 years in the United States Air Force, I served as a volunteer here at Unicorn Centers. After a short time as a volunteer I was hired to work in the workshop. Several months later I transitioned to my current position as a job coach. I have enjoyed each step of this just over 1 year journey. When I served in the Air Force, I truly loved my job and worried about what I would do once I retired. I didn’t know if I would find a job that I loved.
