BIO

My name is Patrice Jones and I have been employed by ICCS since 1996.

ICCS's mission, Helping Communities Help Themselves has become my life's work. As a Community Development Specialist I have had the opportunity of a life time to share people stories and lives. I have seen how positive CHANGE can bring about successful communities.

ICCS offers communities a chance to heal, melodies that people can feel, shows LOVE is the key and all it takes is you and me.
