Success Story: Ms. J entered the Head Start program an unemployed single-parent, but has since evolved into a true testimony of the PCCEO mission: formulating the foundation of self-sufficiency and empowerment for all economically challenged persons. Ms. J is the Head Start/Early Head Start Council Chairperson, a parent volunteer, the recipient of a PCCEO educational scholarship and a student at MidState College. "We wish we had 100 more parents just like her," says the Head Start Family Partnerships Coordinator. In addition to the time she dedicated to her job, family, and Head Start Program, Ms. J is working hard to complete her degree at MidState College in December.
