JASON

ACTS CLIENT AND PART OF THE COMMUNITY CLEANING CREW

Jason has been an employee at ACTS since October, 2018. He’s a hard-working young man who appreciates a job well done!  We sat down with him and asked a few questions about his time with us, thoughts on how ACTS has impacted his involvement with the community and on his role in our Community Cleaning Crew.

Jason, tell us a little bit about your experience with our work programs: I love all my jobs. I like working in the ACTS’ kitchen handing the food to the clients, too.  I also enjoy having a hot lunch every day.  I can be around people every day which I enjoy.  I am part of a team and have friends here.  I like interacting with people.

What is something you really enjoy about working in our Community Cleaning Crew?  I like cleaning the residential homes.  I enjoy the feedback from the people we work for in the community.  I’m learning more about my community!

What is something you think everyone should know about your time at ACTS?  Before working here I didn’t feel like I belonged anywhere in the community.  ACTS has given me confidence and I feel good about myself. I am happy here.  I’m not miserable and just laying around home.

How do you feel ACTS has impacted your life?  I am happy to not be just living off of social security.  I plan on using the money I’m making to buy a cell phone!  I would also love to visit my mom in Arizona this winter. My family has noticed I am happier and not down on myself.

I think to myself….do I want a different job?  No…I don’t want to be out of work again and I’m happy here. I feel like I’m independent and the job coach trusts me to work on my own sometimes. I would not want to change anything.
