Joseph Parker’s Summary
I have been working with children and youth for nearly 20 years in camping, church and inner city ministries.
Through my education and years of experience in working with kids from all sorts of backgrounds, my life's passion is directly connected to the training and coaching of adults; equipping them how to build relationships with "at-risk" families in such an intentional, long term manner the kids will grow to become Christ-changed, hope-filled, productive ADULTS.
