Our Staff
Joy Parrish, Interim Director
"In the fourteen years I have worked at the West End Center, it has been my privilege to participate in the growth of the program. That growth has occurred in response to the needs of the families served and the larger Roanoke community. Today, the West End Center's comprehensive services offer a unique combination of services and activities that help children attain productive, responsible adulthood. Working with the children, families, volunteers, community leaders, and staff members who have achieved this success has been one of the greatest pleasures of my life".
Nicki Joynes, Educational Services Director and Care Coordinator
"Moving back to the Program Coordinator from the Office manager position, I am excited to be working more in depth with the children again. I look forward to being totally involved with them again"!
Cheryl Ferrell, K-1st Group Leader
"I enjoy working with children and being a good role model to them".
Mary Ferrell, 6th-7th Group Leader and Parents' Group Coordinator
"I like being here and having the relationships with the children and the families. The closeness between the staff and families makes us all family. When one hurts, we all hurt. I love being a teacher and a group leader and giving back to the community".
Becca Parrish, Development and Office Manager
"My mom, Joy, has worked at the Center since I was a kid. I remember coming when I was young. I just recently moved back to Roanoke from Charlotte, NC. I am very excited to now be working at the Center. One of the best things is seeing kids, parents and staff that are still involved with the Center from when I was here as a kid".
