JD Medina, WingsWork Director, Wings for Life International: Everyone Deserves a Second Chance

HealthCare UnTold is proud to share with our listening audience the powerful and moving story from JD Medina. JD Medina is the Director of WingsWORKS for Wings For LIFE International. As a native son of New Mexico, JD is proud of the rich culture of his state and his people. Struggles with alcohol and addiction lead him down a path that ended up in incarceration. Now as a returning citizen he is striving to improve his community and the people in it. Upon being released from incarceration JD became a Certified Peer Support Worker and is starting a new job training/peer support program at Wings For LIFE International (WFL).  

JD Medina, is the force behind the growing Wings WORKS initiative, a program that will provide training in a variety of skills, including clay product design and production, woodworking, bike repair, jewelry-making and many more options for those needing to enter or re-enter the work world and take that a major step toward success.

Before he joined WFL, JD was operations director for a famed jewelry designer, Paula Crevoshay, managing all aspects of the sourcing and manufacturing of her creative designs. As a registered gemologist with a particular talent for finding solutions to problems that plague in any manufacturing environment, JD is using all of his experience and talent to build Wings WORKS into a force for change, offering those with minimal skills and/or limited resources, the opportunity to learn, build, grow and become either successful entrepreneurs or great employees at established firms.  

HealthCare UnTold encourages our listeners to support WingsWorks.org , they have some beautiful clay pieces of the Southwest at very reasonable prices, and we can support our community members with jobs and skills.
