What our team members say

Diane, EXCEL Program Coordinator

“I am most proud to be working at SBCS because the people care about the community and want to help those that are going through a hard time. I like that everyone in my team has different backgrounds and years of experience. I am proud to work for an agency that shows results.”

Nicole, Data Entry Specialist

“What makes me proud to work at SBCS is the success stories that come out of the agency. The impact we make around the South Bay and across San Diego County is amazing. For every five people I speak to, at least three know about the services SBCS provides and I love that! It really shows the community that the agency cares.

My most memorable client experience was helping a youth experiencing homelessness get a handle on an unknown health issue he had, connect him with his social worker and finally see he became emancipated. It was his goal and, with the help of caring people, he was able to succeed and follow through with the plan he created for himself. He was able to come back and tell me he was enrolled in high school as well.”

Luis, Emergency Rental and Utility Assistance Lead

“I started working for SBCS in April of 2021 at the convention center helping migrant youth find their families. For the first time in my career, I felt like I was making a difference in people’s lives. That encouraged and led me to continue to work for SBCS and grow within the company.

My most heartfelt memory at SBCS was reuniting migrant youth with their families and knowing that they have the opportunity for a bright future. I felt like I made the biggest impact at SBCS on the last day at the convention center. I felt like I had accomplished something I had never done in any other career and it felt truly special.”

Rachel, Prevention and Early Intervention Program Director

“I am most proud to work for SBCS because of the reputation that our CEO Kathie Lembo has built, and we as staff have maintained, over the years. This agency has grown so dramatically, and has expanded to be able to support so many clients/communities. It’s exciting to be a part of it.”
