I love doing things for the community and being a part of that change.
What drives someone to dedicate their life to community service? In this episode of 'Your Bridge To Addiction Resources', Jobanny, a former employee and now board member of the Council On Chemical Abuse (COCA), shares his inspiring journey. Starting as a contractor offering tobacco cessation classes in Spanish, Jobanny's role quickly expanded to addressing problem gambling and promoting healthy choices in local bodegas.
His passion for community work shines through as he talks about his efforts to educate and empower minority communities in Berks County. One of his standout initiatives is Esperanza Para Berks, a groundbreaking event that brings together experts from prevention, intervention, treatment, and faith-based sectors to discuss addiction and access to treatment—all in Spanish and free for the community.
Jobanny’s story is not just about his personal achievements but a call to action for others to join in making a difference. He also touches on the United Way campaign and his vision for a more informed and proactive community. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in grassroots activism and community empowerment.
