We’re proud to share that one of our staff recently had the opportunity to participate in the Colby Community College Criminal Justice career expo.

Opportunities like this allow us to connect with students and community members, share the mission and values of our agency, and highlight the important work being done to support youth and families in our communities.

Building relationships with community partners and future professionals is key to strengthening our impact and continuing to move our work forward. We appreciate the chance to represent our agency and look forward to more opportunities like this!
