Working with Good Sports USA, to reach at-risk youth where they are, has been a life-changing experience for me and I treasure every moment I have shared with the participating youth. The engaging programs and excursions always capture the participating youths' attention and imagination- I find that component the most inspiring and makes the youth as well as volunteers to keep coming back.
