Employee of the Year

Each year, Job Point selects its most valuable member. This decision is never easy and neither is our work.

Jerrell Morton, YouthBuild Director, has established himself as a highly regarded leader in the YouthBuild arena, sitting on numerous national and statewide committees, and frequently asked by federal grant staff to provide guidance to other YouthBuild directors on best practices. He recently helped launch a formal coalition of Missouri YouthBuild programs. Jerrell could undoubtedly make more money working elsewhere, yet he chooses to drive back and forth from Kansas City to Columbia every day, because of his dedication to YouthBuild. His mantra is that we are family, and he walks the talk every day with his staff and students. Whether it’s personally visiting an employee who is ill, mentoring a new co-worker or calming down an upset student, Jerrell approaches all challenges using the philosophy of Love and Logic®.

Although the YouthBuild program is Jerrell’s passion, he is a team player at Job Point, working collaboratively with the other program staff. In an effort to increase the impact of Job Point services, Jerrell has taken the initiative recently to establish formal partnerships with numerous entities including our local school districts. These projects allow students who are not slated to graduate from high school to earn their diploma by participating in Job Point programs and then walking at the school’s graduation ceremony with their peers. In addition, Jerrell has implemented a program at the Juvenile Justice Center so that residents can also work toward a high school equivalency and obtain career readiness skills. Even though these new initiatives don’t necessarily benefit the YouthBuild program, Jerrell does it for the good of Job Point and for the students who would otherwise be unserved. He is an invaluable leader for Job Point and for the youth in our community seeking a path to successful adulthood for themselves and for the benefit of those who rely upon them.
