Our October Employee Spotlight is Lydia!

Lydia has worked for UCP Heartland for a year and a half! She began working as a Job Coach in June of 2025. A year later, she got the Administrative Assistant position at our Gibbs Center for Independence in Jefferson City. In this role, she manages day-to-day front desk operations, directing guests, answering calls, and managing calendars.

She enjoys her role, sharing, “I love it, and I’m glad I am able to be part of a team that helps our clients and their families.” This experience has made a lasting impact on Lydia. The transition from an Employment Resources participant to a UCP Heartland employee represents much more than a job. Lydia shared, “To me, it means becoming more independent and learning to trust myself, while still trusting God when I’m not sure what comes next. I definitely still have things to work on, but I’ve gotten a lot more confident in handling things on my own.”

Thank you, Lydia, for all your hard work!

Meet Daniel, an Employment client who works at the Sam's Club Gas Station!

Daniel recently started working at Sam’s Club a couple of months ago. At the gas station, he manages customer needs, keeps the area tidy, handles the refueling drop offs, and helps pump gas as needed. He also works at Schnucks as a bagger.

Daniel loves cars, so he enjoys seeing all the different cars get gas. He is also very knowledgeable about cars and can pinpoint an issue from a sound alone! Outside of work, he loves Halloween and skeletons so he is excited for the holiday season.

Great work, Daniel!

Meet Jason, an Employment client who works at the Sophia M. Sachs Butterfly House!

Jason has worked at the Butterfly House for an impressive 26 years! He began volunteering there until he was hired on part-time. He works in various stations, providing facts, help, and greetings to guests.

Jason has learned many interesting facts about butterflies and insects. He worked with his job coach, David, to program facts and interactive games into his AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) device to share with guests. He doesn't have a favorite butterfly because he "loves them all.” Jason is proud of his work, saying, "I try my very best.”

Great work Jason!
