Inclusion at The Salvation Army Red Shield Youth Center in Broken Arrow, Shay Wright-Goff and Autumn Kinkade, Ep. 167

We chatted with a local chapter of one of the most well-known nonprofits WORLDWIDE for episode 167 of The Hidden Workforce!

Do you want to see inclusion in action? Head over to Shay Wright-Goff and Autumn Kinkade at The Salvation Army Red Shield Youth Center in Broken Arrow!

In this episode, we not only learn all about The Salvation Army and the many, many programs they offer AND create for the communities their centers are located, we also see them as inclusive employers in action!

Shay and her team at Salvation Army Broken Arrow adapted one of their positions to exemplify the many skills, gifts, and talents Autumn has- and she is thriving!

You may remember Autumn from episode 22 of The Hidden Workforce where she chats with us about her Cerebral Palsy, being an author- “Cerebral Palsy Can’t Stop Me,” being a model, and being an ordained minister! She also chats with us about her journey to independence and furthering her education for the workforce at the A New Leaf Transition Academy in episodes 51 and 83!

Here at The Hidden Workforce, we love a good story about inclusive employers, employers paving the way for inclusive positions, employee advocacy, and more.
