Stars Family Services

Job Partner Program - Provide Job Partner Coaches at the College Church, Wheaton Resale Shops to come alongside those individuals with developmental disabilities. The Partner Coach will assess and design goals for each Partner. The goals are designed to move Job Partners closer to independence as they complete tasks in a resale shop environment. All Participants in the Partner Program will perform their tasks according to these values. Excellence: We will perform tasks to the best of our ability and use the gifts God has given us. Service: We will serve others as an expression of our love for Jesus, since Jesus came to serve. This includes serving customers, employees, volunteers and fellow Partners. Love: Everything we do will be done out of love and have the best interest of the other person. Progress: We desire to grow to reach our full potential and be all that God intends us to be. Respect: We will be respectful of the STARS Partner Coaches, customers, employees, volunteers, and other partners. We will follow the instructions of the Coaches and Location Managers and speak respectfully at all times.
