I recognize that there is a tremendous need to support our at risk youth in the DFW area. Volunteering for Foundation for CHOICE is both fun and worthwhile. Jessica Koss is a great leader and very passionate about the cause. She is always coming up with new ideas and directions for how to better the organization! I am proud to be using my time to support this organization and help build our community in the DFW area. Giving at risk students a chance to make a C.H.O.I.C.E!
