We help active-duty military members, Veterans and spouses find meaningful work and put down roots in Maine!

Boots2Roots should be your first step in transition planning if you are…

  • Serving in the active duty component of the U.S. Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines, Coast Guard, Space Force
  • Planning to separate or retire from active duty and transition to Maine anytime in the next 12 months
  • A Veteran living outside of Maine who is looking to live and work in Maine
  • A military spouse

Contact us to learn more!

**Importantly, we are not recruiters and there is never any cost for the Boots2Roots program**

If you are a Maine employer looking to hire military talent, please get in touch.

From the start of the transition assistance program briefs, to a personal call to prepare for retirement, Boots2roots has been amazing. I want to give special recognition to Randy Bell and Brian Boyman for assisting with federal resume and interview preparation during this process. An amazing veteran organization taking care of other veterans is what it’s all about! Thank you all!
