CFCC Employee Named Everyday Hero
Noah Gordon receives honor from Florida Department of Juvenile Justice and Florida Youth Foundation.
The Florida Department of Juvenile Justice and the Florida Youth Foundation recently named Center for Child Counseling staff member Noah Gordon as an Everyday Hero. Gordon serves as a senior program specialist for the Center’s Education and Prevention Services team and received the Everyday Hero Provider Staff of the Year Award. This prestigious honor highlights Gordon’s unwavering commitment, passion, and dedication to serving children and families every day.
The Florida Youth Foundation Everyday Hero award celebrates those staff members who exceed expectations in assisting youth, families, and their fellow Department of Juvenile Justice team members.
Gordon has been an integral part of the Center’s Stop Now And Plan (SNAP®) facilitation team since 2023.
According to Dominika Nolan, director of the Education and Prevention Services team, “Noah consistently goes above and beyond to help families meet their needs and achieve their goals. Her positive attitude is a cornerstone of her approach, creating a supportive and welcoming environment for both the families and her colleagues. Her enthusiasm and dedication not only enhance the experience for the families but also contribute significantly to the overall success of the program.”
In addition to her direct work with families, Gordon has proven to be a valuable resource for her teammates. She regularly provides insightful feedback and guidance, reflecting her deep understanding of the SNAP® program and its objectives. Her ability to naturally assume a leadership role within the team further underscores her commitment and effectiveness.
“Noah’s contributions have been instrumental in fostering a collaborative and effective team environment, while also driving positive outcomes for the families served by the Center for Child Counseling and SNAP,” added Nolan.
SNAP® is funded by the Florida Network of Youth and Family Services and offers free support for children, ages 6-11, and their parents/caregivers. The program provides children and their families effective strategies to address behaviors and increase prosocial skills that help children make better choices. SNAP® is a 13-week group program–children and their families participate in engaging activities with group discussions, role-playing, interactive games, and self-reflection to address topics such as dealing with anger, learning how to practice self-control, and using problem solving.
