Congratulations to our own Dara Lum Shackelford and the Department of Social Services for being featured in The Advocate for their work towards improving the lives of children and families. DSS has called together a group of fellows from DSS staff, other agencies, and nonprofits to help improve services within DSS. We are thrilled to have Dara serve as one of the twelve Innovation in Louisiana Government Fellows for DSS and the author of one of four projects chosen for further development.
The project area Dara will be working in focuses on developing policy recommendations to improve the quality of afterschool and youth development programs.
