welcome to our new VISTA worker

Missy Storey has joined us as a new VISTA worker, working on the project to develop a mentoring program for youth aging out of foster care, and those transitioning to adulthood from difficult circumstances. Missy completed her "pre-service orientation" (PSO in the VISTA lingo!) in a very sweltering Atlanta Georgia last week. She is rarin' to go with the project. Kindra will still be on board for another month in the project, so they can work together for continuity of the project. This project will continue into this new year still affiliated with WV Promise projects around the state, under the leadership of Pam Dugan. We now have a "partner" VISTA project in Putnam County, through Mission WV, working on a similar project to provide supports to youth in the foster care and adoption systems as they transition to adulthood.
