GOTR bay area is a fabulous group that has a major impact on everyone involved. I have worked both in the office with their talented and hard working staff as well as in the field with the girls that they benefit. The smiles, lessons learned and confidence gained by each girl involved in the program says all there needs to be said. This year I have decided to get even more involved by becoming a coach and am very excited to work on a weekly basis with the girls!
