Each year, Second Start’s Transitional Employment Program looks to connect students to local community members who mentor and guide each student toward becoming a positive contributing member of the Concord work force. The most important part of the mentor-student work experience is the relationship building. I would like to thank the following businesses and community members for fostering work ethic, providing stability and most importantly giving students a chance to succeed outside the regular classroom setting.

  • Beaver Meadow Elementary School Staff - Jim Pike, Bethany Franz, Angela Dusseault
  • Rundlett Junior High School Staff - Scott Owen and Tom Sica
  • City of Concord Cemetery Staff - Jill McDaniel, Jeff and the Maintenance Crew from Blossom Hill
  • DRC Automotive Pembroke - Dan Clark and John Genest
  • Merrimack Valley Daycare Infant Room staff and Program Director Gail

Thank you for your support and we look forward to another successful year in 2015-2016. If any local businesses are interested in becoming a student mentor, please contact Debbie Brenner at 603-225-3318 or dbrenner@ssahs.org.
