Why Maine?

60% of Boots2Roots Teammates and their spouses are not originally from Maine, and the number one reason that Teammates say they want to put down roots in Maine is quality of life.
Maine’s famous coastline spans around 228 miles long
Maine is home to over 3,100 off-shore islands

“Boots2Roots provided the peace of mind that my family and I needed to be able to make the decision to come home…and three days after I got to Maine I had an interview.”

– US Marine Corps Sergeant

Boots2Roots’ Commitment to You:

We will help you prepare for a successful transition to Maine, including:

Self-assessment materials & feedback
Resume, cover letter, & interview preparation (we work together to ensure high-quality tailored products)
Networking (connecting you with trusted professional contacts and companies)
Peer mentoring (by recently separated/retired military Mainers who will help you connect)
Community contact referrals (“warm” hand-offs to contacts we know & trust in your new community)
Like military service, transition and community integration is a family affair and Boots2Roots is committed to working with you and your spouse.

We call you Teammates, not clients, because it is a team effort to make your transition to Maine a success!

Veteran Support:

Besides a beautiful state with a great quality of life, Maine has an extensive and very collaborative network of veterans and veterans support organizations.
