No Experience Required
Make a Difference Every Day — Become a Community Coach
Looking for a career where every day is different?
At Community Connect, Community Coaches don't spend their day sitting in an office or providing traditional caregiving. Instead, they work alongside adults with developmental disabilities throughout Orange County—teaching life skills, building confidence, exploring the community, volunteering, working toward employment goals, and helping people create meaningful, independent lives.
You'll mentor, encourage, problem-solve, laugh, celebrate accomplishments, and help individuals discover what they're capable of accomplishing.
No two days are ever the same.
No experience is required—we provide the training.
