I first learned of Smart from the Start a couple of years ago and was so impressed by their work that I volunteered to serve on the board. This organization is changing lives every day and gives hope to those who feel hopeless. They show families their strengths not their weaknesses, connect them to services and advocate for them each and every day. They are helping to close the achievement gap and to break cycles. I am regularly moved to tears by the work Smart from the Start's staff is doing and they never ever give up. They go to places many other service providers fear to go and make a difference for those who just need the opportunity to achieve.

Now that I'm on the board I have an even greater appreciation for how far they can stretch a dollar and there really is no worthier cause than supporting the work they are doing.
