The MatchUp Program is officially under the guidance of We Are Hope Inc. following an open house hosted by the organization on Tuesday. Do Good Door County and We Are Hope Inc./The EmployAbility HUB announced the transition earlier this month.
The two organizations have worked together on the project since Do Good Door County launched the program in 2024. By connecting older adults with local employers, the program addresses community needs by providing businesses with workers while fostering social connections for the area’s aging population.
We Are Hope Inc. Executive Director Kim Carley said she is excited to see the program grow under the organization’s leadership, noting that several clients have already stopped in to learn more about how they can take advantage of the opportunities.
Do Good Door County’s Cynthia Germain said earlier this month that she is confident We Are Hope Inc. can help expand the program and build an age-friendly approach to employment, adding that “MatchUp was always about creating meaningful connections between people, purpose and opportunity.”
Those interested can contact We Are Hope Inc. or stop by its office inside the Cherry Point Mall in Sturgeon Bay to learn more about the MatchUp Program.
