Stefan “Cencio” Minson, Family Resource Manager

Stefan “Cencio” Minson

Family Resource Manager

S. Cencio Minson has been a dedicated member of the High Point Neighborhood Family Center (HPNFC) team since 2018, beginning his service as a Bilingual Family Support Specialist. For five years, he provided culturally responsive support to Spanish-speaking families, helping them navigate complex systems, access essential resources, and feel welcomed in a community where language barriers often create isolation. His commitment, professionalism, and deep understanding of family needs led to his advancement to Family Resource Manager, where he continues to strengthen the Center’s capacity to serve diverse families with dignity and respect.

Cencio’s decision to join HPNFC was rooted in a personal moment of clarity. During a visit to the Center, he witnessed the urgent need for a trusted liaison who could bridge cultural and linguistic gaps, someone who could ensure families felt seen, heard, and supported. That experience affirmed his calling to serve, and it continues to guide his work today.

Cencio holds a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of South Florida and proudly served in the United States Marine Corps, completing deployments in Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF). His transition from military service to social services reflects a lifelong commitment to protecting, uplifting, and advocating for others.

A caretaker from a young age, Cencio helped raise his siblings, uncles, and abuela, experiences that shaped his values and his belief in the power of family. Now a father of three, he considers supporting families in building stability and strength one of the most meaningful forms of service, second only to raising his own children. His work at HPNFC is driven by compassion, cultural humility, and a deep understanding of the challenges families face.
