Property Manager
I manage the property and projects for a community development organization.
You have to have a passion for helping other people and be involved in your community (or the community you want to serve). Resourcefulness is a skill native to the people of Appalachia and it's something everyone should have. You have to make the best of what you have and know how to do whatever it takes to get to where you want to be. Always be willing to keep on learning. Honesty and respect always go a long way.
Here's the first step for everyone
Start volunteering and advocating for your community and the causes you care about. Do whatever you can to help. If you want to make a career change, take the time to get educated whether it's through college, certificates, or on-the-job training programs.
