Working at Damar requires character, compassion, enthusiasm and the desire to achieve excellence for yourself and others. Building better futures for children and adults facing life's greatest challenges can be intense and demanding, but at Damar the rewards are greater than just a paycheck.

The clients we typically serve have little or no independence before coming to Damar and many face difficult life circumstances in additional to their developmental and behavioral challenges. However, the dedication and support of our team members help foster life-changing success for those we serve — the kind of success that enables children to learn life skills that lead to achievements at home, school and in the community; that empowers adults to be good citizens who thrive in their work and personal lives; and that reunites families in ways many never believed possible.

A career at Damar is more than just a job. It's a chance to enhance the lives of those who truly need the support of our innovative services and the expertise of competent professionals. In fact, many employees choose to make Damar their career destination and many have been employed here with a high degree of fulfillment and satisfaction for decades.
