There’s a new face in town you will likely encounter if you stop by the Atwater Neighborhood Resource Center looking for someone to talk to about a neighborhood issue.
Cameron Jackson is the new Wichita District 1 community services representative and has an office at the center located at 2755 E. 19th St. N.
As liaison between citizens and District 1 Councilman Brandon Johnson, Jackson like other former District 1 CSRs will become a familiar face in the community.
The 25-year-old said said he has been enjoying getting to know Wichita and the community and checking out the culinary scene.
“I tried Meddy’s and it’s as good as I was told it would be,” he said.
Jackson relocated from Houston for this position. There, he most recently served as assistant director for civic leadership at Rice University.
He attended Rice University and accepted a job there that involved teaching students how to get more involved in the community.
“I decided I’d rather be involved in the community than teaching others how to be,” he said. “So when I saw this job was available, I applied for this role.”
Jackson said he’s still settling into his new role.
“I arrived just before Tax Day,” he said. “So my first several days were busy helping people with tax questions.”
Jackson said he was a “military kid” who grew up “everywhere.” Both of his parents served in the Army. Jackson is engaged to be married.
