James P. Scordo
Executive Director

There is something to be said for consistency! That is what the Credo Community Center has enjoyed with Jim Scordo as the Executive Director since 1990. Jim joined the Credo Community Center family in March, 1981. After a brief absence to explore other opportunities, Jim returned in August of 1983 as the Director of Credo’s residential program for adolescents, and he has been with the organization ever since.

While working full time at Credo’s adolescent program, Mr. Scordo and Credo’s current Director of Residential Services, Roger Ambrose returned to school to pursue their Masters in Social Work. They both graduated from Adelphi University in August, 1988 with their MSW, later to be converted to LMSW. In addition they both received their CASAC’s in 1987.

Over the years Credo has gone through many changes and growth in response to client and community needs. The merge of the Credo Foundation and Community Center of Alcoholism in 2000 was a major accomplishment for the organization. Mr. Scordo and Patricia Hinckley, former Director of the Community Center for Alcoholism led the way. Since the merge, Mr. Scordo has been able to assemble a fine team of ten management staff with a combined total of 110 years employment with the Credo Community Center. The management staff has been the backbone of the organization as the agency continues to make improvements while providing quality professional services to our clients.
