Inroads to Opportunities is a Union County, NJ based non-profit human services agency that provides programs and services to individuals with disabilities ranging in age from 16 to retirement.
According to Roberts, I work with Social Security beneficiaries who are interested in finding employment and would like to eventually become financially independent. The most enjoyable aspect of my job is encouraging people and helping them find their own strength to pursue and maintain employment, which for many who havent worked in several years can be daunting. The most unique part of working at Inroads is working with people who are dedicated to supporting individuals with disabilities, and furthering opportunities for those we serve.
