Theresa Shorty

Family Service Specialist

Theresa is the Family Service Specialist here in Marshall. Her employer is AVCP Child Care. For this job, she had to be a graduate, and she had to get one week of training in Anchorage from the Office of Family and Youth Services.

Theresa spends most of her time in the city office where she works six hours a day. Her bosses are Helen Morris and Carolyn Heckman from AVCP. She has been working there for the past nine months. She expects to quit this job on March 3, 1994. Four of her job responsibilities are making home visits, reporting to the social workers, recording daily activities, and recruiting for the city council.

Theresa doesn't know what the best things are about her job, but the worst thing about her job is interfering with broken families. Her advice to the younger people is that, if they want her job, they'd better go to college first.
