Celebrating Partnership!

We’re honored to receive the Loring Job Corps Employer Partner Award!

Our partnership with Loring Job Corps Center creates valuable opportunities for students to gain hands-on experience while making a difference in our community.

Through volunteering with the Aroostook Agency on Aging’s IT department and our new Connectivity Hub, students work directly with clients to build technology skills and confidence. From learning to navigate a tablet or cell phone and creating secure passwords to exploring virtual reality experiences, students help make technology more accessible and enjoyable for the people we serve.

We’re proud of this partnership and grateful for this recognition, the opportunity to work together to support students, and the students who share their time and skills to support our work and strengthen our communities.

Together, we’re making a difference, one student at a time.
