When S.H., wife and mother of a three year old began working with the Bell-Whitley Community Action Agency she had just become unemployed. S.H. had worked full-time during the last four years as an office manager for a tax service, which had closed its business. Her husband was also unemployed. The Community Services Block Grant outreach worker encouraged her to apply for a vacancy within their agency as a temporary Low-Income Home Energy Assistance program worker. During this time, S.H. proved to be very dependable and skilled. She was offered another position as a tax preparer in the Tax Wise program.

| In April, 2006, she acquired a full-time position as a case manager in a youth program earning $8.88/hour with full benefits. Her husband recently gained employment as a truck driver. S.H. works with all different types of youth each day. She stated, “Just knowing the impact that I may have on the youths’ lives has made my job fulfilling. I am grateful for the opportunities that have been made available to me while I have been here at Bell-Whitley Community Action Agency, the most important of these is the opportunity to become self-sufficient.” |
