Impact in Action: Meet Anna

When Anna joined JCEO’s Early Head Start (EHS) home-based program with her son, Austin, she wasn’t sure what the future held. She shared that she had no specific goals, but she was committed to giving Austin the best start in life.

Through weekly EHS visits and our Growing Great Kids (GGK) curriculum, Anna discovered something life-changing - her passion for Early Childhood Development. This, she realized, was her calling.

Now, Anna is not only a dedicated mom and engaged EHS parent, but a dedicated student as well. Despite the challenges of balancing school and parenthood, Anna is always ready each week for her and Austin’s EHS visits. 

Watching Anna’s journey unfold has been inspiring. She has transformed uncertainty into ambition, proving that investing in education and family creates a ripple effect of success. 


The impact of Community Action is not just measured in numbers, but in the stories of those we serve. Whether it’s a parent securing stable childcare so they can advance their career, a student receiving school supplies to start the year with confidence, or a family putting food on the table - these moments define our mission. They remind us that when we invest in people, we invest in a more prosperous future for all.
