JOIN OUR TEAM & MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

CCAR Industries is a nonprofit organization that was founded in 1969 by a small group of parents who wanted to make a positive impact on their children’s generation and beyond. Over the past 52 years, CCAR Industries has expanded its array of year-round services to assist over 300 adults and children across several counties. We are primarily funded by the State of Illinois.

We have been a stable source of employment for many local residents over the years. We typically employ between 135 – 150 staff. During the COVID stay-at-home order, we were very fortunate to have a fantastic group of staff members who volunteered for extra hours and duties to help their co-workers and our residents. Many staff say that our agency feels like an extended family. In fact, our Eastern Illinois University students sometimes refer to us as their “Charleston family”.

If you are looking for the potential to grow your career, form lasting relationships, and work as part of a team, CCAR Industries is the place for you! Feel free to text us at (401) 203-5862 if you have any questions.
