NH at WORK | A service of GSIL

Going to work and increasing your income comes with many benefits.  You can get the money you need for a car and transportation, you can save up for a house or apartment, and you can have the extra funds in your pocket to do something fun with your friends.

Yet, going to work also comes with its costs.  You need to get the clothes necessary to dress appropriately for your place of employment, you need to get groceries so you’re well fed and have good energy for your work day, and you need to be able to get back and forth to your job.

Gas is not cheap, and whether you’re driving yourself to your new job or sharing a ride with someone else you’re dipping into that new paycheck before it’s ever deposited or cashed.  Here’s where GSIL comes in with its new NH at Work Economic Development efforts.  We feel that adapting to your new job is enough responsibility, and that you should see more of your wages.  So, we want to give you the gas cards you need to fill up your tank to get to and from work without any added expense.

Here’s how you or someone you know can access this great benefit.  To be eligible you need to be between the ages of 18 and 64, be receiving Social Security benefits and be able to meet Social Security's Ticket to Work requirements.  GSIL can then assist you with finding a job through the Ticket to Work services.  GSIL has more than 25 years of experience making successful job placements, and we put this experience to work to help you map out your employment goals and identify the strengths you bring to the table.  Then we can help you assess different work environments and find the ones that best fit you.  Finally we can guide you on your job search and equip you with the tools you need to succeed, such as networking and interviewing skills, resume and cover…

Economic development is about more than finding a job, going to school, building a business, or increasing your income.  It's about using all of these avenues as tools to improve your state of living.  That's why GSIL decided it was time to begin taking a more holistic approach to helping NH citizens and business build better foundations for success.

Granite State Independent Living believes that New Hampshire works best when New Hampshire's at work for you and you're at work for New Hampshire!  NH at Work is a GSIL led movement to create access to economic opportunities for NH citizens with disabilities and NH businesses employing diverse workforces.  The success of every NH citizen is only improved by the success of our neighbors and communities. 

GSIL provides a wide array of economic development services, creating access to tools, resources and opportunities to increase your income no matter what your life stage or circumstance is.
