Our goal is to make the process less stressful and more achievable.
High Plains Helping Hand assists clients in obtaining certified birth certificates, no matter which state they were born in.

We help clients prepare for interviews and new jobs by providing access to our Career Clothing Closet, which includes professional and industry-specific attire like black pants, collared shirts, scrubs, non-slip shoes, and steel-toed boots.

Our goal is to help students build confidence, explore career pathways, and set a strong foundation for future success.
