Review for J P Western Presentations, Chula Vista, CA, USA
I've had the pleasure of volunteering with J.P. Western Presentations for two years now. The dedication of the founder Mr. Pat Combs is endless. The Board of Directors and teachers are made of up faith-based, dedicated men and woman who come together with great expertise to tackle the challenges that disadvantaged San Diego youth experience daily. This local 501(c)(3) nonprofit has partnered with San Diego County's Probation Department, local churches, and employers to encourage disadvantaged students to successfully develop every aspect of their life through education. They have even developed a special curriculum, FOUNDATION FOR A NEW FUTURE, which focuses on an individual's potential, God-given gifts, and inherent abilities.
