Rhonda dedicated herself to Greene Lamp for two years serving as a community volunteer on Head
Start’s Policy Council on top of an already full-time job working at the local Health Department. Her
passion was the community and doing all she could to make it a better place for children and
families. There was no job or task too big for her to take on.
Rhonda Joyner Ward was extremely involved in her church, St. Mary FWB, in Jason, NC. She was
Choir Director for the Senior Choir, a member of the Music Ministry, member of the Health Ministry
and a member and recording secretary for Choir #2 to name a few. Rhonda was a huge sports
fanatic and was always rooting for “her teams”, the Dallas Cowboys and the Atlanta Braves.
Whenever she had free time, you could always find her at a sporting event. Another hobby of
Rhonda’s was collecting purses, especially Dooney & Burke. Although Rhonda had no children of
her own, she took great pride and joy in being designated the “2nd mother” for her nieces and
nephews.
Rhonda was the type of person that always set goals, and when those goals were set, she worked
diligently to achieve them. Some of her final goals were having a closer walk with and serving God
and helping and making a difference in the lives of others.

What is Community Action?
History of Community
Action
Expenditures
In 1964, The Great Society, as envisioned by President
Lyndon Johnson, was a sweeping plan to improve the
lives of all Americans, regardless of their circumstances.
Inspired by President Kennedy and his New Frontier,
Johnson pledged to fulfill his promise of equal
opportunity for all by enacting several comprehensive
changes within the federal government. In August of that
same year, the Economic Opportunity Act was signed
into law by President Johnson creating the nationwide
Community Action Network. (see photo )
The War on Poverty
Lyndon B Johnson signs Economic Opportunity Act
on August 20, 1964.
In 1963, shortly before he was assassinated, President
Kennedy had asked his economic advisors to draw up
some proposals to address the problem of American
poverty. Johnson took up this charge after he
succeeded Kennedy as President. In Johnson's first
State of the Union address on June 8, 1964, he called
for an unconditional war to defeat poverty. He
expanded and revised the proposals given to Kennedy
and developed the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964.

themselves to determine what would help

departure from how government had run
most social reform programs in the past.

GOVERNANCE:
The Economic Opportunity Act included a
variety of initiatives:

DISABILITIES / MENTAL HEALTHGREENE LAMP, INC
Maximum Feasible Participation
A hallmark of the agency since its inception has been its
governance model: its board must consist of :

one-third elected officials (or their designated
representatives),

up to one-third members of the private sector, and

at least one-third representatives of its eligible client
constituency (or their representatives).
This has ensured a diverse stakeholder partnership
throughout the agency’s existence. Greene Lamp’s
board provides guidance and oversight in the
administration of its programming.

A Message From the Board Chairman
Dear Friends and Supporters,
It gives me great pleasure to address the public on behalf of the Greene Lamp Board of Directors.
We had an exceptional year during the 2014-2015 reporting period. The 50th Year celebration of
the National Community Action Movement was in January 2015 and Greene Lamp will celebrate
50 years of service during the 2015-2016 reporting period. We embarked upon a new program in
our Greene Lamp family, Early Head Start/ Childcare Partnership.
Many thanks must go out to the staff of Greene Lamp for finding, seeking, and securing funds to
help keep the agency viable. Much time and expertise was put into writing and submitting grants
during this period in order to increase the number of families served. We must remember and
abide by the most important forethought of Greene Lamp which is the safety, respect, and security
of our children, parents, participants and staff at all times in our workplace. This is a critical piece
of our continued success.
The five year strategic plan that we embarked upon this year has begun to take shape. A new
vision, mission and agency goals, will continue to lead Greene Lamp to be a prominent
community action agency. We can not rest on our laurels, as this year we challenge our
committees to secure new facilities (buildings), more certified/qualified staff, and new programs for
a successful and controlled growth in the future. Another year of good clean audits, from the state
and federal funding sources, continues to make Greene Lamp an agency of excellence.
WIOA: SUCCESSES
WIA Awards Banquet
Outstanding Youth Participant 2014-2015
MS. AKIAH LYONS
Ms. Akiah Lyons is a single mother of 2 young boys and was a
participant in the WIA program for 2 years. Upon moving to New Bern
from Cleveland, Ohio Ms. Lyons stopped in the Career Center and met
with the WIOA Career Advisor. Akiah had not completed high school
and was only interested in finding employment. After researching job
opportunities and found out that all the “good” job’s required a high
school diploma or GED, Akiah decided to enter the Basic Skills Plus
program at Craven Community College. The Basic Skills Plus program
allowed Akiah to get her GED and Nurse Aide certification all at once.
During this time Ms. Lyons faced many barriers such as unemployment, transportation, and regular
childcare for her two children. The WIA program assisted Akiah with transportation and within a few
months, she was placed in a work experience at the NC Works Career Center. She earned her GED and
CNA1 certifications. She has reconnected with her mother in Ohio, has a very positive young man in her
life, and has maintained consistent employment.
WIA YOUTH SUMMIT
2015
I would like to thank all the board members for their time and energy helping to maintain high
standards of operation. Agency accomplishments are integrated into other sections of this annual
report, therefore, in this section, I wanted to place special emphasis on our clients, staff, and
funding sources who make this agency great.
Respectfully,
The NC Youth Summit is a one and a half day, annual event. It is designed to provide opportunities for
young adults in the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) programs throughout the state to come together to
collaborate, learn from one another, exchange ideas and act as “one voice” in issues relating to
workforce development in North Carolina.
William Connor, Board Chairman
Along with the summit, career advisors are exposed to a staff development session that is designed to
provide them with a myriad of information to aid them in both their professional and personal lives.

Community Spotlight
A Beacon of Hope In Duplin County
SARAH’S REFUGE of Duplin County was founded in
1995 as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Sarah’s
Refuge was named for the grandmother of one of the
original Board members. The grandmother, Sarah,
sheltered battered women and their children in her
private home. It is the only residential and nonresidential domestic violence and rape crisis center in
Duplin County.
Dear Friends of Greene Lamp,
Trained staff are available 24 hours a day to respond to
crisis calls, to provide crisis intervention, individual and
group support, advocacy, information, emotional
support, education, resources and referrals to victims of
domestic and sexual violence.
It is an honor to serve as the Executive Director of Greene Lamp Community Action where we
promote self-sufficiency through our programs and services. It gives me great pleasure to present
and highlight the agency’s 2014-2015 Annual Report, which lists our many accomplishments and
outcomes.
The philosophy of empowerment and self-sufficiency is
the foundation for the entire structure of its service
development and delivery. The determination in
restoring a survivor's power and control over their own
lives is the driving force behind the delivery of clientcentered services provided to its victims.
In many communities throughout the nation, agencies such as ours, are leading the way, forging
new opportunities for people living in poverty. Being a private non-profit gives us liberties to
innovate while maintaining successful long-term programs that generate self-sufficiency for our
participants. Community Action is known to be at the forefront in developing programs that are
specific to local issues as identified in its community needs assessment. We seek out new grants
and funding opportunities that help us establish new solutions to local poverty issues.

Greene Lamp has much to be proud of as an agency with a driving force to combat poverty in
Eastern North Carolina. We plan to continue the mission through collaborating with community
partners, providing services, and empowering families to achieve self–sufficiency
through education, employment, and advocacy. We are grateful to all our funding
sources and contributors who support our vision to make this work possible.
As community action changes with the implementation of new performance
standards, Greene Lamp will be dedicated to maximizing resources and coordinating with
community partners to embrace people by equipping them with the tools they need to better
their lives and reduce barriers to poverty.
I would also like to extend sincere gratitude to our Board of Directors for their support, vision and
engagement in directing the agency in achieving its mission.
On behalf of the low income individuals and their families assisted in our five
county service area, thank you.
You helped make this happen!
Sincerely,
Angela M Bates, Executive Director

CSBG: SUCCESSES
LENOIR COUNTY
Ms. Brownridge came into the CSBG Program seeking assistance with employment search. She was living with a
friend and had no means of transportation. She was interested in taking a Nurse Aide I course to obtain skills to
become employed. She was accepted into the program, April 2014 and found employment with Lenoir Assisted
Living in Pink Hill working in Dietary. She was forced to resign from her job due to lack of transportation from her
residence to her job.
On May 30, 2014, Ms. Brownridge received a job offer from the North Carolina State Veterans Nursing Home. At
this time, transportation was still an issue. She and her case manager, Ms. Katrina Mitchell worked together to
eliminate her barriers to transportation. On June 9, 2014, she began full-time employment working from 3pm-11pm.
Her case manager assisted her with transportation to work and a friend
transported her home at night. Soon afterwards she found a vehicle to
purchase. The CSBG Program assisted her with car insurance. Her next
goal was to get her own place to live. She found an apartment and was
assisted with rent and a utility deposit. She is still employed with the NC
Veterans Nursing Home and maintaining her car and apartment. She gives
credit to her Case Manager and the CSBG Program for assisting her in
reaching her goals.
GREENE COUNTY
Ms. Bynum came to the CSBG Program, June 2014, seeking employment as a Pharmacy Technician.
She found that she had a difficult time getting hired. Ms. Bynum was already certified and had previous
experience working in a pharmacy. However, transportation and daycare was a big factor in her
maintaining employment. With career counseling, planning, and encouragement from her Case Manager,
Ms. Georgia Edwards, she was offered a fulltime job with Wal-Mart in Goldsboro, NC working as a
Certified Pharmacy Technician.
Ms. Bynum is thriving in her position and feels she is most helpful in assisting in various aspects of the
operation of the pharmacy. In addition, she states that she loves working in the pharmacy field and is
eager to continue implementing her skills as a Pharmacy Technician.
Mr. Valle competed for this scholarship with others sent by Greene Lamp Head Start and twelve
other programs in the Head Start Cluster A region. We are very proud to have a former Greene
Lamp Head Start student receive this scholarship.

Teaching Strategies GOLD
EDUCATIONAL
SERVICES
Greene Lamp Head Start/Early Head Start utilizes the
Teaching Strategies GOLD online assessment system to
evaluate the growth of children across the nine (9)
domains of the Head Start Early Learning Outcomes
Readiness Framework Ages Birth to Five. These domains
are:
● Language Development ● Literacy ● Mathematics
● Science ● Creative Arts
● Approaches to Learning
● Social and Emotional Development ● Physical Health
and Development ● Dual Language Learners
Teaching Strategies GOLD data is collected three times
during the program year: Fall, Winter and Spring (referred to
as Baseline, Mid or Final data). The three checkpoints
show the children’s growth throughout the program year.
This data is shared with teachers, policy council and the
board on an ongoing basis.
FOSTER
GRANDPARENTS
Foster Grandparents Program is one of three federally funded National Senior Service Corps programs. To
be a Foster Grandparent, you must meet income eligibility requirements, be 55 years old or older and agree
to volunteer at least 20 hours per week. In return, they
are paid a small stipend and mileage reimbursement to
offset the costs of volunteering. The program offers
seniors opportunities to serve as mentors, tutors and
caregivers to children and youth with exceptional needs.
Green Lamp partners with the Caswell Center and the
Senior Corps to provide “Grandmas” for the Head Start
classrooms. The Grandmas assist in the classrooms;
by helping with food preparation and sharing their time,
love, and experience with the children and staff.
No one can do everything,
But everyone can do something
The charts below depict gains in all areas of development between
Baseline data collected Fall 2014 and Final data collected Spring 2015.
Highest gains were in Literacy in both 3 and 4 year old children. Education
staff has developed strategies to improve the scores in those areas
needing more attention as identified by the aggregated data.

SERVICES
Head Start / Early Head Start Childcare Partnership Programs
An important part of Head Start services is the
comprehensive Health and Nutrition component. The
Office of Head Start and Head Start Performance
Standards require all programs to serve USDA
approved meals in their centers, assist families with
establishing a medical and dental home, as well as get
their children up-to-date with the state Early Periodic
Screening Diagnostics and Treatment (EPSDT) and the
CDC recommended vaccination schedule.
During the 2014-2015 program year, 40,832 breakfasts,
42,424 lunches, and 40,636 snacks were served. The
meals were provided for a 160 day period. All meals
and snacks served are planned by a registered
dietician and meet the nutritional standards established
by the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP).
During breakfast, lunch and snack times, children learn
about various foods and beverages that are healthy.
Activities teach children the value of healthy eating and
exercise.
TRANSPORTATION
Greene Lamp Transportation Department is an important
department in Greene Lamp Head Start. Our motto is: “No
Child Left Behind “. We provide a high-quality Health and
Safety environment and maintain qualified and committed
staff to ensure a continual learning environment of School
Readiness for our children as they travel on yellow school
buses before and after the regular school day.
There are 5 bus routes in Lenoir County and 3 bus routes in
Greene County. Greene Lamp Head Start transports 164

SCHOOL
READINESS
The most important goal of our early childhood curriculum,
Creative Curriculum, is to help children become
enthusiastic learners by encouraging children to be active
and creative explorers who are not afraid to try out their
ideas and to think their own thoughts. Our goal is to help
children become independent, self-confident, inquisitive
learners. We are teaching them how to learn, not just in
preschool, but all through their lives. We are allowing them
to learn at their own pace and in the ways that are best for
them. We are giving children good habits and attitudes,
particularly a positive sense of themselves, which will make
a difference throughout their lives. Supplemental resources
used in our classrooms include Second Step Social
Emotional Curriculum. Children are assessed using the
Teaching Strategies GOLD Assessment Tool. The 36
objectives are aligned with the NC Department of Public
Instruction Early Learning Standards for NC / Common Core
Curriculum Content Standards and the Domains in the
Head Start Child Development and Early Learning
Framework that promote positive outcomes in Early
Childhood Programs serving children birth—5 years old.
Transition & School Readiness
SCHOOL READINESS GOALS
The Improving Head Start for School Readiness Act
of 2007 requires programs to address and
strengthen school readiness for all children served.
Greene Lamp Head Start strives to promote school
readiness through the implementation of Transition and
School Readiness Plans throughout the program year to
ensure the success of our children and families as lifelong
learners. Both plans include strategies that help prepare
parents/guardians and children for transitioning into Head
Start and into Kindergarten.
The goals establish the expectations of children’s
status and progress across 5 essential domains:
An Education Advisory Committee which consist of local
education agencies/schools, parents, teachers, Head Start
staff from all service areas, community partners and
governing boards met three times during the program year,
to collaborate, assess the program by area as relates to
school readiness and family engagement, make
improvements, and enhance the program as an whole as it
relates to all services areas of Head Start.
A Multidisciplinary Team meets monthly to discuss every
child in the program, assess the progress of the children and
their families, as well as develop and implement strategies
to meet the needs of the child and their family.

The Parent Involvement component ensured that all Head Start/Early Head Start parents received
orientation prior to their child’s entry into the program by hosting a Parent Orientation Workshop in both
counties. The program had 164 parents to attend the 2014-2015 Parent Orientation. Parents were also
invited to attend Classroom Orientation prior to school beginning to introduce the teachers, learn what would
be taught and review classroom schedules. Orientation included classroom visitations, pre-socialization
activities, various mandated screenings, as well as, distribution of vital information regarding licensing
requirements and center rules/regulations.
At the first parent center meeting in October, parents elected officers and policy council representatives. All
were trained in October at the Policy Council Training. Mini-training workshops were held at the monthly
meetings thereafter, including presentations by each content area specialist. Since parents play a crucial
role in preparing their children for academic success, they were encouraged to participate during the school
year in a variety of ways, including volunteerism, literacy activities, training opportunities, serving on
governing boards, education, ERSEA and health advisory committees, and attending conferences. Special
activities were conducted at the centers geared toward fathers and male role models, such as Bowling with
Dads, Great Men, and fathers support meetings.

Greene Lamp Head Start has a commitment to wellness
which embraces a comprehensive vision of health for
children, and their families. Through collaborative efforts of
staff, health professionals, and community partners, all child
health and developmental concerns are identified and are
linked to an ongoing resource of continuous accessible care
to meet their basic needs.
As children come into the Head Start / Early Head Start
programs, they receive age appropriate, culturally and
linguistically responsive screening for developmental,
sensory (visual and auditory), behaviorial, motor, language,
social, cognitive, perceptual and emotional skills. All children
enrolled in HS/EHS must receive a developmental screening within 45 days of entry into the program. Greene Lamp
uses Ages & Stages Questionnaires in Early Head Start to
determine developmental and social-emotional delays and
DIAL - 4 to screen all Head Start children in five areas of
early childhood development.
Office of Head Start requires that a minimum of at least 10
percent of enrollment opportunities are made
available to children with disabilities.
MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES
Greene Lamp Head Start/Early Head Start
utilizes the Second Step Curriculum in the
classroom. The curriculum consists of
weekly lessons that teach children how to
identify emotions and the appropriate way to
respond to those emotions. A Positive
Behavior Approach is also used which
emphasizes the prevention of challenging
behaviors, the development of pro-social
skills and the use of researched-based
strategies for addressing existing behavior
concerns. These approaches increase
students capacity for learning by promoting a
positive climate and culture and utilizing
school-wide,
classroom and
individual
expectations.

Family Service Case Managers serve as a single point of contact to
connect families with all the comprehensive services that play a
critical role in supporting families. Their professionalism and
responsiveness in providing families the support they need in many
areas is a vital part of the program. Family Engagement staff offer
an integrated approach to the Head Start families by considering the
strengths, interests and needs of each child and family, and
connecting families with services and resources to achieve their
goals. Case Managers track and follow up family goals throughout
the year and provide a support system to assist with any areas of
concern. Case Managers provide ongoing support throughout the
year with face to face parent meetings, home visits and telephone
contacts. This close contact allows the Case Managers to identify
family needs and assist with family interventions, if needed.
