Our People
A Story of Passion and Dedication
Just as the community answered the call of the ringing bell, TEEG staff continues to answer the call of the ringing telephone. Our staff has served 205 more individuals and 78 more families in 2012. We’ve added programming and increased our capacity to allow us to touch lives on 6,590 more occasions than in the past year. We are grateful for the trust Northeast Connecticut has placed in us to offer a hand up to our neighbors in need. It is a privilege to serve and empower our community.
At TEEG, we have always believed that the quality of our service rests in two things: compassion for those who seek our service, and accountability to those who fund our programs. Our ability to serve is driven by the needs of the community. We have never felt limited in our capacity because of the physical confines of our offices. Our motto has always been, “Whatever it takes.”
All TEEG staff, whether they work in Early Childhood, Adolescent Mentoring, Youth Programs, Food Security, Fuel Assistance or Senior Case Management have one goal in mind… to meet people where they are and help them reach their greatest potential.
