WATERTOWN, N.Y. — The Children’s Home of Jefferson County (CHJC) announced it has recently added Jessica Hurlbut to its board of directors.
CHJC, headquartered in Watertown, says it is the largest human-services organization in Northern New York. Its services include adult health and wellness programs, after-school programs, foster care and family permanence programs, youth and family support services, and youth health and wellness programs.
Hurlbut is a Christian writer, podcaster, special-needs mom, and a pastor. She has been married for 17 years to Greg Hurlbut, who is the lead pastor at New Testament Church in Massena.
The Hurlbuts host the Full Spectrum Parent Podcast, the only faith-based autism parenting podcast in existence, according to a CHJC release. She also blogs weekly at www.jessicahurlbut.com.
Hurlbut is the mother of five children — two adopted, two struggle with autism, and one typical teen boy, CHJC said. In 2014, she and her husband adopted a sibling group and become adoption advocates for the 125,000 children in foster care who are free to be adopted.
CHJC serves more than 4,000 youth and adults.
