Direct Care Workforce

Yadira is the Program Director for PimaCare at Home, partnering with United Way of Tucson’s Direct Care Workforce program. The ELDER Alliance, anchored at United Way of Tucson, provides sponsorships to qualifying individuals who are interested but unable to afford the mandatory requirements in becoming a direct care professional. “My hope is that we continue to come together and build successful connections to better the Tucson and Southern Arizona community. I hope we can stand united, advocating for our caregivers, the community members needing jobs and the ones in need of services, most importantly doing it with passion. The impact organizations such as United Way of Tucson and Southern Arizona have on the community influence change not just locally but nationwide.”
