Looking for a job in Orange County where you can make a significant difference in the lives of adults with developmental disabilities? But also want a friendly and stable work environment?

Fortunately, you can find both at Costa Mese-based nonprofit Project Independence (PI), which has more than four decades of service and stability as a lifeline for one of the county’s most challenged populations.

Prospective employees with a broad range of work experiences are welcome to apply, including from social services, education, and finance. Seasoned professionals leaving retirement to put their experience to work at PI have found it rewarding, too.
