As a volunteer, I've had the pleasure of experiencing the positive effects that the mentoring and supplemental programs have on developing our youth. a particularly impactful experience were the times I participated in their career development program. Bringing community business leaders together with students in order to better prepare the youth for future job opportunities, served to both educate the potential employees and potential employers while honing skills. Providing hope for those who may not otherwise achieve their potential is the essence of what this organization provides to our community.
