Our team is passionate about helping people connect with the support, resources, and opportunities they need. Whether we’re meeting community members at local events, helping someone navigate services, or working behind the scenes, we’re here to help!
Connecting With our Community!
We enjoy getting out from behind the desk and meeting people face-to-face. Events like these give us a chance to introduce GOALS, answer questions, share useful information, and simply be a familiar, approachable presence for people who may need us later!
We Make the First Step Easier!
Reaching out for help can feel intimidating, especially when someone is unsure where to start. Our team works to make that first interaction comfortable and judgment-free, so people can learn about their options without feeling pressured or overwhelmed!
Better Together!
Our team brings different experiences, strengths, and perspectives to the work we do. What brings us together is a shared commitment to treating people with respect, working collaboratively, and helping each person move toward greater stability and independence!

Cassie
Housing & Employment Specialist
I'm a Housing & Employment Specialist at GOALS supporting people as they work towards building more stable, independent and fulfilling lives period I love being able to meet people where they're at help them recognize their strings and be a part of those moments when they realize they're capable of more than they thought.
What I enjoy most about my work are the people. I genuinely love being able to make a difference, even if it's in a small way. I'm a big believer that sometimes people just need someone in their corner who believes in them, listens without judgment and reminds them that their circumstances don't define them, getting to be that person for someone is incredibly rewarding!
Fun Facts: I'm a mom of three and consider myself a professional adventurer! I love making memories with my family, exploring new places and finding the fun in just about any situation.
