🌟Join us in celebrating our Working Partners and Job Coach of the Month!!!
💙James is a hardworking, quick‑learning, and dependable team member who consistently steps up without being asked. He excels at his daily tasks, has mastered new skills like running the floor machine, and shows real growth in communication, patience, and professionalism. He listens before reacting, handles difficult situations with maturity, and is becoming a strong mentor to others. His recognition as Working Partner of the Month is well‑earned.
💚Clistie is a consistently dependable, positive, and highly dedicated professional who brings warmth and kindness to everyone she works with. She adapts effortlessly to change, maintains exceptional attention to detail, and handles her responsibilities with impressive independence and integrity. Her growth, motivation, and leadership make her a powerhouse on the team, and her hard work is deeply appreciated.
💛Our Job Coach of the Month, Angela, is a compassionate, dedicated professional who consistently goes wherever she is needed and gives her very best. She transformed a long‑neglected contract through her leadership, empathy, and high standards, earning the trust and respect of both coworkers and supervisors. Her willingness to support multiple teams, her humility, and her servant‑leadership mindset make her an invaluable part of the organization. Angela truly represents the heart, culture, and excellence of GRI.
For more than seven decades, our mission has been to create meaningful vocational opportunities for adults with disabilities—and it is moments like these that remind us why that mission matters. When these two Working Partners proudly said this is the best place they’ve ever worked and that they’re never leaving, it wasn’t just a compliment. It was a testament to the culture we build together: a place where people feel valued, supported, and empowered to grow.
James, Clistie, and Angela embody that spirit. Their dedication strengthens our purpose, their compassion lifts our community, and their everyday actions light the path forward. Because of people like them, GRI isn’t just a workplace—it’s a place of belonging, dignity, and opportunity. And as long as we stay true to our mission, we will continue changing lives, one person, one contract, one day at a time.
