YAY!!!

alright.... i got the position at La Causa! :) I'm psyched! Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers! The agency name is pronounced la cow-sa (like house with a 'c' at the beginning and an 'a' at the end). The website is www.lacausa.org if you wanna check it out. I'll be working at the Social Service Location. My job title is WrapAround Care Coordinator. WrapAround is a County program that youth under 18 years old are court ordered into due to behavioral problems, usually. The goal of the program is to keep children in a permanent placement (foster, bioparents or family placement) instead of having to go into residential care. Instead of residential care, kids in this program have services "wrapped around" themselves and their families. I'm the person who coordinates all these services - which is pretty much anything the family and youth need. I'm very excited! I start Tuesday already with training. Yay!
