GET-ME-TO-WORK

The goal of Get-Me-To-Work is to create employment opportunities for New Americans.  We offer employment and entrepreneurship advising services and workshops addressing a wide range of topics—from resume writing to designing a business plan.  Through its wide network of partners, NEAAO can match people with jobs and opportunities to develop new skills, eliminating dependency and fostering self-sufficiency.  We follow an empowerment model that focuses on each person’s existing skills and talents while honoring individual goals.   Cultivating these talents will add to the diverse fabric of the community and bring additional resources for all of those hoping to live independently while giving back to the community.
