Beacon Group - Tucson, Arizona

Ben Conboy

The Beacon Group has been one of the best agencies I've ever been enrolled with!
They are the total package for people with disabilities and advocacy for people who are simply trying to get back in the workforce.
Every step of the way has been well coached with my aspirations, abilities and experience in accordance with the end goal, employment.
Ticket2work program and the W.A.T. work assisted training re acclimated me with the work force. Enabling my confidence, reassuring that I can do this.
Simply said "Empowering"
I'm forever indebted to all who have graciously and professionally make things happen for me and all those who seek to be more capable in any or many aspects of their lives!
These professionals listed below have been implemental in my journey. Their collaborative and independent effort is deserving of more than words can say!

Stacey Feinsilver at Beacon Group has been an incredible asset to the community. I was struggling to navigate the internet to find employment, and Stacey went above and beyond to help. Not only did she find me multiple job opportunities, but she also guided me through the entire onboarding process. Her friendly demeanor and extensive knowledge made all the difference. I truly appreciate her dedication and support!

Carly Langman

Nice to partner with an organization that embodies inclusion so deeply. Muriel and team members have been instrumental to our success. Thankful.

I had a tour to see if this facility would be a good fit for my son. The person conducting the tour could not answer any question that I had except to say that a developmentally delayed person had to be toilet trained. Some people with developmental disabilities might not ever accomplish this ability despite other abilities they may have already accomplished. When I asked about a one on one aide that the Division of Developmental Disabilities would pay for since my son also elopes, she couldn't answer whether or not this would be acceptable either. At the same time she was pushing a hard sale for this day program out one side of her mouth, while she was telling me how my son wouldn't qualify out of the other. The client to staff ratio did not seem appropriate and with the exception of the work program clients seemed bored and unengaged with staff and each other.

I got to do an observation and things went smooth staff is friendly and so is the Clientele. Very clean and nice and cool inside. Maybe strange to say but it smells good too.

I've always thought this place was a really good organization to help out people who can't get jobs and regular work environments. I worked the coffee shop when it was just starting and I met some really good personalities and made some really nice friendships. If you're needing a resource to help you find jobs or even get a job there or a temporary job to get experience this is the place to go. You may have to be referred by a Kodak or cope a place like that.

I actually came to beacon through wap. I enjoyed learning and working with the shredding department, and all that it entails. However I believe that the program I came through is bs and that they really aren't interested on seeing you succeed, it's about who you know and if they like you. I was blessed to be in shredding. Let's leave it there ?

I was told the transportation for my nephew would be through a medical transportation service ... Not true instead he arrives by Lyft and they are not a medical transport company. I filed a complaint with the State of Arizona. You, people, should not allow mentally disabled adults that think like 12-year-olds to get in basically a person's car. I am glad we removed our nephew
