Pastor Veronice Horne opens every United Community Corporation board meeting with a prayer.
Anyone that knows the pastor would expect nothing less. Prayer is as much a part of her life as breathing and each time that she closes her eyes to talk with God, her words carry hope, faith and most importantly, gratitude. Pastor Horne herself has a lot to be grateful for. Long before she became a pastor, God helped her through her darkest days.
A fractioned glimpse of the trials Pastor Horne experienced only begins to tell her journey’s inspirational story. As a teenager, she ran away from home and lived on the streets of Newark for what she didn't know would be 10 years. Veronice became an alcoholic and resorted to prostitution to survive. She even carried a weapon as a means to protect herself.
It’s a joy to give back. All of the things that I’ve done for my community never felt like work

My intern experience with UCC was a great experience! I am very grateful for Yucleidis giving me the oppurtunity to intern at UCC and I was welcomed with opened arms and felt right at home interning at UCC. It was a great learning experience interning at UCC and I learned so many things from everyone I came across.I chose to work with UCC after my internship because I love helping out the community in anyway I can. I have done lots of community service in high school and college and it became a passion of mine to help others in need. It was the right fit for me to work at UCC and me working here gave me an opportunity to keep doing what I love which is helping others.

My experience at UCC has been wonderful. I've learned so much about the field within these past few months of interning. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming, it was easy to feel comfortable quickly. They are also very helpful and knowledgeable about what should and needs to be done. It's such a positive environment to be a part of and I am thankful for that. Overall, it is an experience I'll always remember.
