The Leadership Class Partners With Community Works to build a Teen Center for their 2008-2009 Class Project

Chamber Leadership participants of Medford/Jackson County have been diligently raising funds and establishing fellowship to aid in the facilitation of building a much needed Teen Center at Community Works' Dunn House Shelter.

This year, an incredible dynamic group of diverse business professionals have partnered with Community Works, a non-profit, human services agency that is deeply rooted in our valley giving hope to youth and families in need.

Thirty-two class members will build a Teen Center for the teens that Community Works serves that are affected by domestic and sexual violence. Upon completion of this project in May, the class will have enabled teens in crisis to have a center that was specifically created for them while their family grows from hurt to healing. 

Community Works:

Community Works serves high-need youth and families, women, and children affected by domestic and sexual violence, and the community as a whole through its 24/7 HelpLine, Dunn House Shelter, CrossRoads and Lithia Springs Schools, and other community programs.

Community Works offers comprehensive array of programs and services that include education, support, crisis intervention, information and referral, safety, treatment, advocacy, and case management. With a core value of facilitating human growth and healing, Community Works plays a vital part in building a community for individuals and families in Jackson County.
