It is my desire, as the Director of Human Services, to lead the Seniors and Youth of Gloria J. Parks Community Center with a spirit of Excellence. My goals are to increase membership and programming, improve literacy and life skills through the 4-H “R.I.S.E.” Curriculum. This program focuses on teaching Respect and Integrity through Skills and Education.

In an effort to improve our service to the Senior population, we will extend our hours of operation beginning October 1, 2008 untill 2:00pm. Monday-Friday. During this time we will have live entertainment, crafts, workshops, computer lessons, fundraisers, and parties. I would like to create an atmosphere that will become their, ” Home Away From Home. ”
In addition to our 4-H After School Program, I am focused on improving Youth character building and diversity.
It is important to increase our presence in the community by actively participating in partnerships with other Human Service Organizations, Educators, Students, Politicians, Neighbors, Families and Friends. As we work to enhance programming at the Gloria J. Parks Community Center, I will lead the Human Services Department with Vision, Integrity, Structure and Accountability.
