The CCP Foundation

COMING UP:

Looking for a few COMMUNITY CONNECTORS! The CCP Foundation, in partnership with Arc Greater Twin Cities is launching the TYZE initiative in the greater Stillwater area. To support this mission, we are looking to hire three people to work as community connectors with area families. Community Connectors will use community connections, relationships, and community organizing skills to create, facilitate, and nurture effective Personal Networks. A Personal Network supports a person with a developmental disability to live an active life of friendship, relationship and contribution in his/her community. With training on the TYZE process, a Community Connector will facilitate a collaborative process with individuals and their families to define and create “a good life” as well as to build a Personal Network of individuals to help fulfill on that vision.

This position has paid training and a yearly stipend. A full job description can be found here. Positions are open until filled by the right candidates!
