Whether you’ve been in the field for years, are looking to try something new, or you just know that you want to do something where you get to help people every day – working at AIM HIGHER will provide you an opportunity to let all of your talents shine. The people we serve need our help to develop the skills that many of us take for granted. Some just want to know they are in a safe place and that they’ll be given the same respect and care as any other person. Others are looking to excel beyond their current ability level so that they can live and be as independent as possible. Our job is to work with them on their level and to never lose sight of the ultimate objective – to provide the highest quality environment possible through dedication and commitment to excellence.

The AIM HIGHER experience is so powerful and so unique for two primary reasons:
First, we believe in the mantra “This is how we do it.” This simple sentence is a constant reminder to all of us that there is a correct way to do things. And that is what we are about. You will not find “rules” posted on our walls. You will not find people “sitting in the corner” at AIM HIGHER. Starting with our staff team, we exemplify what it means to show respect to one another at all times. We demonstrate in everything we do what it means when we say, “This is how we do it.” As a result, every client and every person who enters AIM HIGHER feels it and responds with a desire to give and get respect. Respect is the key to empowerment. When people feel empowered they strive for more. At AIM HIGHER all of us go home at the end of each day knowing that we are respected, we have the power to feel great about who we are, and we are an integral part of the world we share.
