“I think the best part of my job is being able to take charge of community bonding, getting community together in different ways, and just giving resources to my community that I didn’t see when I was young. Just having so much freedom and so much support through SCF to bring community together in an environment or a society that is so separated. I think in the villages we really need each other and being able to just create a space where people can get together is the best part of my job.”

Daedre Turner, Manager

“If you’re community minded and it is important for you to connect with your community to make a difference, coming to a place like this is a blessing because the work you do is met with persons who can appreciate it in an authentic and meaningful way. If you have that drive, can authentically present yourself, and are unafraid, then, in a place like this, you could find yourself.”

Carlos Garcia, Nurse Practitioner

“Being able to do it for your community. There are just so many different things that people can and can’t do. And like I always joke with the teachers here, I can never be a teacher, and they say, we can never be you. So, I feel like it’s just very rewarding, especially when calls go on the other side of the spectrum and you save a life.”
