Testimonials

“Working with ATE has provided me with a consistent routine which is a big help for my mental health.” –DB

“Working with ATE has been giving me an uplifting outcome. I don't usually leave my house much, so working for Action to Employment helps me be healthier by leaving my house, seeing people, and moving my body. It also has been giving me a higher sense of self-worth. I always feel accomplished and pleased with myself when I get home after a long day of work." –Crew member
