Jordan Fooce, Juvenile Recovery Specialist
Jordan had a healthcare background and sought a change of pace, as she never felt complete or like she was on the right career path. Jordan’s passion is working with the youth
in the community, hoping to be that sight of hope and change. Jordan is a full-time college student obtaining her Bachelors of Science in Sociology with Grand Canyon University.
After moving to the Adams County Probation Department, she was given the opportunity to work with our youth as the Recovery Specialist. She has obtained her CDCA and CYPS since
joining the probation department and was to begin facilitating UC psych appointments in the Adams County Courts. Jordan also facilitates Anger Management, SAMHSA.
"I feel my new career path fits me and my passion. I like being able to connect with youth on a more intimate level and to let them know they have the support – It makes me feel like I am doing something right. If I can make a child feel seen, heard, and valued than my job is done." – Jordan
