- A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
One of the ingredients that is critical to Community Options’ success in improving the lives of people with disabilities is Community Options Business Advisory Council (COBAC) and volunteers.
COBAC is an integral part of the organization’s employment and business strategy. The councils have several key functions: to advise the executive directors of Community Options’ local offices on important issues, to help organize and carry out fundraising activities and to establish and maintain corporate and civic ties in each locality where Community Options operates a program. For example, COBAC members often introduce Community Options’ employment specialists to potential employers.
Council membership is composed of civic leaders who also provide expertise in identifying vendors, analyzing local labor markets, locating job opportunities and developing business plans for micro‑enterprises.
Community Options fundraisers are designed to foster community involvement. Special events include the Cupid’s Chase run, Galas, and golf tournaments. A variety of fundraising ventures across the country encourage community members to become part of the life of Community Options, and more importantly, to become part of the lives of people with disabilities.

Mission Statement

Description
Community Options, Inc. was incorporated on February 9, 1989 to develop residential and employment supports for people with severe disabilities. Since its inception, Community Options has been devoted to serving individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, thus cultivating a reputation for providing exceptional person-centered services that are unique to each individuals’ needs. With a mission to develop housing and employment opportunities for people with disabilities, Community Options believes in the dignity of every person, and in the freedom of all people to experience the highest degree of self-determination. Throughout its history, Community Options has participated in institutional closure and community residential placement for thousands of people across several states. As a national agency, COI does not administer any large programs; rather, we recognize that people with the most severe disabilities require environments, equipment, clinical staff, and supports that are individualized and tailored to their specific needs. COI programs and services include community-based living, employment supports, high school transition programs, and specialized programs for respite and medically fragile people with disabilities.
