Right now he works at the Department of Public Safety detailing fire apparatus and at Our Daily Bread, which serves lunch to low income people. Those he works with see his potential for future employment and work with him to expand his skills for future jobs. His high school teacher put him in touch with the opportunities.
Fontaine said that the public safety department is planning a major inventory project to sort through the fire equipment and make sure everything is where it's supposed to be and in good condition.
She's planning to move him into that role once she can find a mentor. He already does a similar job in the patrol cars when the weather is inclement.

Hi,
Thanks for your comments on my new blog. I've enjoyed your last postings, including this one. Perhaps Brett will by his presence and interest demonstrate the best that our community has to offer both in jobs and in the larger world.
BTW, I am a currently unemployed librarian who volunteers her time to complete an archival project for a specialized library at my alma mater, so Brett isn't alone in his volunteerism. It's a great way to gain experience and contacts.
Thanks for visiting over here. I'm looking forward to reading your blog- your volunteer work sounds really interesting too.
