Meet Rotarian Debbie Justice

One of the newest members of SGR is Debbie Justice, the Executive Director and principle grant writer for The Learning Center for Families. A fluent Spanish-speaker - who also speaks a little Japanese -Justice has a great sense of humor and a penchant for fun.

This petite professional woman with a Masters in Family Support Studies is a Paul Harris Fellow and a former secretary of the Red Rock Rotary Club. She was sponsored by Linda Sappington with a classification of Social Services.

Justice, whose hobbies include "volunteering and work," is a transplanted Californian who came to St. George in 1993 to oversee the private, non-profit agency which provides support services through an Early Intervention program to families of children birth to three years of age with signs of developmental delay. Contracted by the Utah Department of Health, The Learning Center for Families works with low-income pregnant women and families who reside in Washington County, Utah, and Colorado City/Centennial Park/Cane Beds, Arizona. She currently serves on the Utah State Interagency Coordinating Council overseeing services for toddlers and the Utah State Head Start Association.
