"For the past several months I have been volunteering at Cortney's Place. When my friend Nancy invited me to join her there, I was not sure what to expect. To my amazement, what I observed was a room full of happy and well cared for members. Everyone was engaged in activities while the staff made sure the members needs were met. I look forward to coming every week!"

"I've been volunteering at Cortney's Place for almost 1 year. The care for and love for the members by staff and other volunteers far exceeds any expectations I had. I have had the pleasure of developing friendships with so many of the members. We laugh, communicate, and share special moments together. This opportunity to give back has truly been a blessing!"

"What began as a small glimmer of hope quickly turned into a life-changing experience from just one visit to Cortney's Place. At the time of our initial visit, we were living in Washington State and visited AZ, specifically to tour Cortney's Place, in hopes of finding something for our son with cerebral palsy. Long story short, we found more than something. We sold our house and moved our whole family to Scottsdale, specifically because of what Cortney's Place is and what it would mean for our son to go there. Zach has been at Cortney's Place for two years now. He has his own community of friends through Cortney's Place. The staff are more than employees to him and us; they are family. They treat him with love and respect, and, most of all, we know that, without a doubt, he is in the best care when we drop him off each morning. His days are full of camaraderie, fun, academics, new adventures, and the opportunity to be the best person he can be! Zach looks forward to going to Cortney's Place every day and comes home happy and fulfilled! Our family is part of the Cortney's Place family, and it is an honor and a privilege. This is not just for now; it's not a placeholder until the next thing. This is for life, and for that, we are grateful.”

"Serving on the Board at Cortney’s Place has given me a front row seat to the incredible impact this organization has on the special needs community. The programs create a space where individuals are not only supported but truly celebrated for who they are. Watching the friendships, confidence and joy that come out of these programs is so special. Cortney’s Place is more than a program, it’s a community that changes lives, and I am so grateful to be a part of it.”
