Hope Harbert
Director of Operations
I help our clients obtain their high school diplomas and better prepare them to reenter the workforce through job readiness training and career navigation at the ICCS Greeley facility. I like working with Community Educational Outreach because of the population we serve. I enjoy uplifting my students and looking for new ways to improve the lives of those we serve.
Robert McAndrew
Adult Education Instructor
I strive to use my love of mathematics and learning in general to reach students who may not have had beneficial academic opportunities in the past, and teach them the fundamental importance of an education. I also help clients navigate the current world of job searching, using my experience from customer service, the medical field, and government work to direct them through their desired career paths. My philosophy is to be a guide, not a gatekeeper, for people who are looking to succeed in their educational and professional goals.
Tim Willis
Adult Education Instructor
I teach language arts and assist with the HIRE program. I hope my students will leave my lessons with a better understanding of English in order to pursue satisfying jobs in the community. I like teaching language skills to students enrolled in CEO classes in order for them to pass the GED tests so that they will earn a higher income through better employment with their language abilities and education credentials.
Alan Mintz
Adult Education Instructor
Alan assists clients in the HIRE program in the Pueblo area, helping them achieve their professional goals. Alan considers himself fortunate to be able to utilize his background as an educator and corporate trainer as he greatly admires the mission of Community Educational Outreach and strives to give CEO's clients the tools they need. "Life is a journey and at CEO I enjoy helping our clients create their path to a better future."
Ray Sorensen
Adult Education Instructor
Ray has taught language arts and English as a second language in the US, Haiti, Mongolia, and India. In addition to teaching, his career in public service has included a stint in the Peace Corps and responding to disasters like tornadoes, wildfires, and Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico with the American Red Cross. His passion for the written word has put him to work as a speechwriter in the US Senate, a travel blogger, and a freelance editor. He is grateful for the opportunity to share his passion with CEO's clients as he helps them find meaningful work through the HIRE program and prepares them for the GED as a language arts instructor.
Shahrane Karim
Instructor/Team Lead
I teach language arts and mathematics while assisting students with career readiness and employment in Pueblo. My favorite part of what I do is getting to work closely with students and watching them flourish and build confidence. I strive to create a classroom that nurtures courage, curiosity, and collaboration. Every day is an opportunity to make a difference!
Steve Jacbosn
Adult Education Instructor
Steve brings to CEO a wealth of information and experience in both academia and social causes. While in graduate school, on his way to enter government service, he developed the bug for teaching (teaching fellowship) and working for nonprofits whose main purpose was that of helping under-served communities. Upon exiting government service, Steve maintained executive positions in both private and public companies, all the while founding several nonprofits to work with inner city youth. From this, it became a natural progression to seek out CEO to combine his love of teaching and nonprofit service, full time.
Gina Hill
Employment Readiness Specialist
I am the Employment Readiness Specialist at the Adams County site. I'm responsible for guiding students through our HIRE program and assisting them with gaining skills for employment. I enjoy helping clients find the resources they need to transition successfully back into the workforce. I believe people are our greatest resource and CEO truly supports that vision.
