Biography

---

Hello, my name is Ray McCoy! I first came to Minnesota as a young child and grew up in St Paul. I completed my undergrad training in Sociology from Augsburg University and my graduate training at Penn State in Community and Economic Development. After graduating from undergrad in 2005, I began my career as an AmeriCorps VISTA, which eventually led to me gaining more than ten years of outreach experience in various professional settings. In 2010, I landed a VISTA position in Chester, PA (a suburb outside of Philadelphia) where I got my first exposure to working in employment services at the State WorkForce Center, PA CareerLink, where I worked with disabled Veterans by connecting them with employers through the Delaware Valley region. I’m excited to step into the role as the Program Coordinator for the Employer Reasonable Accommodation Fund (ERAF) and get the word out about ERAF to small and medium sized businesses throughout the State of Minnesota.
