About this position About Work Creation Program (WCP)

For over 30 years, Work Creation Program has been empowering adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities across Southern California to build real-world independence.

Through our 1:3 and 1:4 staff-to-participant ratio day and behavior management programs, we provide the personalized support and positive guidance every individual needs to thrive.
