When I walked into this place, I was in awe. This place, first of all, I had no idea it existed. Then when I was greeted by their enthusiastic staff, I knew there was something extraordinary about what they offer the public. This place has a specialty in assisting those with criminal pasts overcome re-entry into society. This means that they support them in job coaching, resume writing, helping felons find work, good career work, not just jobs. They have a Department of Workforce Services Job Board at the front door. They offer expungment services, for little or no cost. They have a multitude of flyers and brochures that further helps to assist those needing legal help (non-criminal). They can apply for the HEAT program, which helps those struggling to pay gas and power bills during winter months. They teach everyone to type, even those who have never used a computer. What is fun about that is they use a Space Invaders typing game.
There are way to many things to mention here. I encourage you to either visit their office or call. They are working to become a "one stop shop" for the public and to help re-entry offenders. Anything you may be in need of ...........call them........ maybe you don't know where to start.......call them. They are all very friendly, encouraging, non-judgmental folks who want to see you succeed.
Also this is not just for the re-entry population. This can also be a good resource for older retired folks who need or want to get back into the workforce.
Their philosophy is simple "Teach a man to fish"
