SPOTLIGHT ON STAFF: DONNAREE JACKSON Assistant Manager, Day Services, CD1 Donnaree Jackson began her journey with Favarh in 2013 as a part-time Direct Support Professional (DSP) in our Day Program. Within a few months, she transitioned to a full-time role, working from 8:30 AM to 3:00 PM. As a single mother raising a gifted athlete, this schedule allowed Donnaree to balance her career while supporting her daughter’s demanding after-school activities as an All-Conference soccer player, a track and field standout, and travel soccer player. Donnaree takes great pride in her daughter’s achievements, including earning scholarships to three colleges, graduating with a Master’s Degree from American International College, and becoming an Art Teacher and a track coach at her former high school – doing what she loves. “My work at Favarh allowed me the flexibility to be a mom after school, and nurture her love of sports.” Donnaree’s commitment and hard work on the job led her to the role of Assistant Manager within her Favarh Day Services program. Reflecting on her promotion, Donnaree shares, “It was a big adjustment moving into a management position because I truly enjoyed direct support work with the individuals.” One challenging aspect of transitioning from a DSP to an assistant manager was learning how to lead the staff, as well as transitioning to a new group of individuals in a different Day Program. “I was attached,” she admits. However, with time, she grew into her new role, supported by the encouragement of her co-workers and the confidence that upper management placed in her. She credits the strong teamwork among the staff for making her transition smoother.

This summer, our team worked with The Arc of the Farmington Valley, Inc. "Favarh" to film twelve individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, proving they can do whatever they set their minds to—and they do. We became gaffers, key grips, boom mic operators, production assistants and whatever else was needed to bring this story to life. But most of all, we became inspired. We're so excited to share the final product with you all. See how these individuals are changing the world at ICanAndIDo.org. . #MintzHoke #ImmersivelyDifferent #ICanAndIDo #EveryoneIsAble #WeAreFavarh

SPOTLIGHT ON STAFF - DEXTER CROMARTIE FAVARH DIRECT SUPPORT PROFESSIONAL - DAY PROGRAM Dexter Cromartie is not your typical Day Program Direct Support Professional. With an impressive 30-year career at Oak Hill, where he spent the last decade as a group home manager, Dexter's wealth of experience and dedication to supporting individuals with disabilities is truly remarkable. After retiring from Oak Hill, Dexter found himself missing the meaningful interactions he had with the individuals he supported. This longing led him to join Favarh’s Canton Life Education Program in February, seeking a role that would reconnect him with the individuals he cherished. Dexter’s enthusiasm for his work at Favarh is palpable. “It’s so rewarding coming to Favarh in the morning and greeting the individuals. They’re always glad to see you, with a smile on their faces. We’re all part of a family,” he shares. Dexter thrives in the positive environment at Favarh, where the staff's dedication and enjoyment in their roles create a supportive and collaborative atmosphere. He particularly appreciates the team approach, noting how managers actively participate and work together towards common goals, fostering a sense of unity and purpose. At home, Dexter enjoys a fulfilling personal life with his wife, their grown children, and five grandsons. A native of North Carolina, Dexter holds a degree in Social Sciences, equipping him with valuable skills in understanding and interacting with people on a personal level. These skills translate seamlessly into his daily work at Favarh, where his ability to connect with and support individuals is highly valued. Dexter’s journey from a seasoned group home manager to a cherished member of the Favarh community exemplifies his unwavering commitment to making a positive impact. We are profoundly grateful to have Dexter as part of the Favarh family, bringing his experience, compassion, and enthusiasm to enrich the lives of the individuals we support. JOIN OUR TEAM!
