Claire interviews Arkansas native and former WNBA player Shameka Christon about her role as a social worker and Coordinator of Bright Futures Little Rock. This special program works within the Little Rock School District to connect student needs with existing community resources. Shameka explains how the Bright Futures model bridges the gap between schools and the community by bringing together businesses, human service agencies, faith-based organizations, and parent groups and partnering them with schools in a way that helps them to quickly and efficiently meet students’ basic needs – often within 24 hours.
