Upon arriving in the United States, Mr. Friday was introduced to the social services field and began his career as a Case Manager at HELP USA’s Keener Men’s Shelter in 2019. This role reignited my passion for serving vulnerable populations. Through dedication, strong professional conduct, and commitment to service, I was promoted to Case Manager Supervisor at the same facility.
Seeking further professional growth, I joined Acacia Network and Housing in 2022 as the Director of Social Services. During my stay at Acacia, I also served as Assistant Program Director at the Skyway Men’s Shelter between 2023 and 2025, and subsequently as Program Director at the Sumner Hotel in 2025.
In 2026, I joined AAPCI as the Director of Social Services at Kings Hotel. AAPCI’s mission strongly aligns with my passion for supporting underserved populations and driving meaningful impact through social services.
