If you have ever needed a solid belly laugh, a truly unbiased and unfiltered opinion, or feel true love, then working with special needs adults is the job for you.

    I love that everyone supports each other, including our working partners. I work at the Sand Springs Armory and our team is wonderful! I'm amazed at how the working partners take up the slack without even asking, when one is out. I have partners that volunteer when anything extra needs attention. I love that we, GRI, are a team as a whole. A supportive family-oriented working community that knows our attention to details is what matters.”
