Jeremy Wooldridge describes "Community Action" as building bridges for those affected by poverty. Wooldridge is an Executive Director of Crowley's Ridge Development Council and the first licensed therapist to serve in Arkansas legislature.
Wooldridge is driven by the question "What have you done for those who can do nothing in return?" He says there is an opportunity for everyone to make this mission their own. There is power in collaboration and this is where his goals with Community Action and the 100 Families Initiative collide.
Wooldridge is a proud partner of the 100 Families Initiative in Craighead County and sees that it has a significant impact on the community.
"I believe that you are truly putting families back together."
