Tofield FCSS gets new Community Programmer
Tofield/Ryley/Beaver County West Family and Community Support Services (TRBW FCSS) has a new Community Programmer, Samantha Giegold.
Giegold who has spent most of her life in the community of Tofield decided on taking up this position after completing her studies in Addictions and Community Service Work.
TRBW FCSS Director Tracey Boast Radley is excited to work with Giegold and said, “Her familiarity with our service area (Tofield/Ryley/Beaver County West), outgoing nature and experience will be an excellent benefit to our community members.
“As FCSS work focuses on preventive social programs, there are plenty of opportunities for Sam to build a variety of programs that meet community needs. Sam is currently reviewing the FCSS Handbook and learning all that we can offer in our communities. TRBW FCSS is working on a social needs assessment and the results will help drive future work for Sam to participate in.”
On why she decided to pursue a career in this field, Giegold explained, “I have been passionate about mental health for as long as I can remember, and it’s not every day that a job pops up in a small town related to my education, so when I saw that FCSS was hiring I jumped at the opportunity. Tofield is my home and I plan on spending my life here, so I was very excited to get hired for this position.”
Currently, her primary role is to help develop and carry out programs that will benefit our community. . . . contd.
