Community Service Officers

Being a Community Service Officer allows me to be a problem solver, caregiver, and enthusiastic partner. I love engaging in the community and providing resources to our neighbors. Every day is different and allows me to bring my whole-self to the role. I hope to create a space for people to build their best lives and connect with each other.
