The main philosophy behind CARC’s Treasure Chest is the training area that allows client s to work, grow, and achieve. Many of our consumers  tend to find an area where they are comfortable “under the CARC umbrella”. They become comfortable in their area and don’t want to venture out.   The Training Program allows them to remain under the “umbrella” while assisting them to transition outside

They work in all aspects of the retail business learning about receiving, sorting, display, and cashiering.  They interact with the customers on a  daily basis which builds confidence.

As the initial crew grows more confident,  they will become the teachers, helping new consumers learn the ropes of the retail business.  When they are ready, each will gradually be  moved into the Supported Work program and eventually on their own.
