The Mission

 

Boots2Roots is the only organization in Maine working with active-duty military members twelve to eighteen months before the leave service to help them find meaningful work in Maine. Boots2Roots is also on the front line of workforce development, providing a pipeline of new workforce talent to Maine employers.

Who we work with

  1. Active-duty military members and their spouses who are planning to put down roots in Maine, and
  2. Veterans who may be working someplace else but are interested in moving to Maine.

What we provide

  • Personalized self-assessment
  • Resume and interview coaching
  • Peer mentoring
  • Maine business connections
  • Local networking

 

Boots2Roots’ two primary goals

That transitioning active-duty members will:

  1. Find meaningful employment within two months of arriving in Maine
  2. Remain in their first post-military job for at least one year

In addition to our commitment to meeting these goals, our staff is dedicated to helping connect you with necessary community contacts before & during your transition to Maine. For example, realtors, veterans’ resource organizations, schools, industry contacts, etc. Our most successful candidates start working on their transition to Maine 12-18 months before they arrive.
