Programs & Services

Let’s ACHIEVE Together!

ACHIEVE Human Services is a social enterprise that has been serving individuals within the Yuma community since 1960. Through our quality programs and services, we support individuals with all types of disabilities with their personal growth and development that ultimately contributes to their independence and well-being. We believe that the community members that we serve excel in an environment where services are developed to address their individual needs and that they participate in the development of their own life goals and objectives.

ACHIEVE realizes that an individual’s independence and self-sufficiency are accomplished through confidence-building and self-empowering activities. This is addressed through activities that gradually build on a person’s existing strengths and expands that confidence into areas that are unknown or uncharted for the individual. Once this is developed and expanded upon, the individual is better capable of successfully integrating into the community and can then begin the employment journey.

A primary focus for ACHIEVE services is the ultimate employment opportunity for individuals we serve whether it is a developmental or intellectual disability, severe mental illness, substance abuse, chronic homelessness, or a wounded warrior. We pride ourselves in the numerous successful employment placements that we effect every year. These successful outcomes are achieved through one of the various activities that are part of ACHIEVE’s portfolio. Which consist of:

1. Job training through individual and group supported employment
2. Resume and interviewing skill development
3. Work adjustment
4. Job readiness activities
5. On-the-job training
6. Partnering with local community businesses for on-the-job training
