Help from Weehawken Works · Ayuda de Weehawken Works
We help Weehawken residents figure out which programs they may qualify for, what documents to gather, and how to file. We also connect people with local jobs and help with applying, a resume, cover letter, interview preparation, follow-up, and salary/benefits negotiation. We do not decide eligibility — counties and the state do — but we will sit with you until the next step is clear.
Appointments that fit your schedule. English and Spanish. Translation available for other languages as well.
