On Thursday, May 16th, the Children’s League of Massachusetts (CLM) gathered with more than 130 advocates, staff from direct service provider organizations, and legislators at the Massachusetts State House for Advocacy Day. Together, we amplified legislative priorities and budget investments vital for vulnerable children, youth, and families across the Commonwealth. At this event, CLM recognized four extraordinary children's services staff and presented them with awards on behalf of our League.
We were proud to honor and celebrate the exceptional and dedicated children's services workforce from CLM's member organizations. Their unique contributions and talent in serving children and families across the state have undoubtedly impacted countless lives in Massachusetts.
The 2024 Direct Service Awards were presented to Jerrid Kenney, the Assistant Program Supervisor at the Key Program Inc. and Kristina Russell, the Specialized Recruitment Coordinator at Massachusetts Adoption Resource Exchange (MARE). The 2024 Program Leader Awards were presented to Raechelle Joyner-Jones, the Assistant Vice President of Behavioral Health and Outpatient Services at the Home for Little Wanderers and Victor Griffiths, the East Regional Director of Community Based Youth Clinical Services at Gándara Center.
Thank you to our award winners for all that you do to uplift, support, and empower the children and families you work with! Your services are essential and we are grateful for your contributions.
