“I approached ESHARA in search of employment, and the Care Coordinator there provided me with an assessment form to detail my needs and job preferences…The Care Coordinator assisted me in crafting my resume and explored various job roles with me, asking if I would be interested in cooking for the students, washing dishes, or serving food…With the Care Coordinator's help, I successfully applied for and secured a kitchen position...where I currently work…I am deeply grateful to the ESHARA team for their invaluable support and for making this possible for myself and family.”

Collaboration is Our Nature 

Through our partnership of community leaders, who serve as informal and formal representatives of their cultural or ethnic communities, clients and the community of new Americans have input into our services and practices. This collaborative approach is critical in ensuring we are accountable to our communities and are as effective as possible in our collaboration across all cultural groups who now call our community home.
