Review for Create Now, Inc., Los Angeles, CA, USA
Volunteering for Create Now and more specifically for Camp Scott was a very enlightening experience. The need is great for this demographic; I am happy that Create Now had the vision to provide educational programs for these young girls. My hope is that more funding be made available or granted to the organization so that more of our disenfranchised youth can benefit from the gifts each special volunteer has to offer them. Thank you Jill, for your persistence and your vision.

Thanks so much for your wonderful comments, Penny. You're a great "sounding board" for the girls at Camp Scott and know how to reach them. The fantastic newsletter that you helped these girls to create has impacted everyone at the detention camp. It’s something they’ll always treasure, and that will impact them for a long time. I can’t wait to see the next issue!
