I have served this organization for approximately 4 years; and they simply amaze me with the commitment to get in done in the behalf of the youth. I have seen and know the struggle to keep and honor the mission and vision of Raising Expectations. From the instructors to the youth participants the energy flows as the task to teach them and they learn. This organization is exactly what they say they are and it is a honor to serve with them.
