About Corinna...
My name is Corinna C. Jones, I am an outreach worker for women specializing change.
Corinna started working with women in 1982 with the Displaced Homemakers Program of Idaho as a tutor in life skills, basic reading, writing, and arithmetic.
In 1985 Corinna worked with teenage girls as the Coordinator for the Teenage Runaway Program within the Vista Volunteer Program for the State of Idaho. While working with young women Corinna formed and facilitated her first support group "Teen Talk".
In 1989 after her second son Jordan died at birth Corinna became a volunteer for Hospice, as a grief counselor, "Griefbuster". Corinna started her support group "MOMS" which helped her deal with her own loss while helping other women through theirs.
In 1992 Corinna was working as the Executive Director for Children's Hour Preschool. Corinna worked with women and mothers that were single, living below poverty level and struggling to get by. Corinna felt that while her teachers were helping and teaching the children their mothers needed help as well. Corinna enlisted the help of local clubs and business owners to start and fund programs for these mothers in life skills, nutrition, parenting, basic budget, health and wellness, and a literacy program.
As women attended Corinna's support groups they began referring their friends, family, coworkers and neighbors to meet with Corinna one on one. Corinna would volunteer her time helping women make changes that would help them move forward in a positive way.
"Conversations with Corinna" was founded in 2004 based on Corinna's experience working with and advising women. Corinna helps women live their best life by empowering them with the tools for happiness and success in this life. Based on suggestions and recommendations from Corinna's own life experience, education and training.
Corinna is a wife, mother, and friend of women in her community trying to help other's by sharing her own story of change and growth.
It is Corinna's passion to help other women move forward in a positive way. As Corinna likes to say, "We should always be moving forward with change".
