Today on the podcast, we’re joined by Jean Lucero, a social worker at the Greenport Union Free School District. Jean plays a vital role in supporting students and families, helping them navigate challenges both inside and outside the classroom. In this conversation, we talk about his upbringing, what inspired him to pursue social work, and how his path ultimately led him to serving the Greenport community.
We also explore the importance of social workers in schools, the unique needs of students on the North Fork, and what a typical day looks like in his role. From the rewards and challenges of the job to how he hopes school-based social work evolves, Jean offers insight, empathy, and a reminder of how essential this work is for the well-being of young people and their families.
