s a parent, you do whatever it is you have to do to help yourchild. He has progressed tremendously. Once he got in here, the

reading, it changed.Charlstina,PARENTofJason,7thgrade

The amazing thing about this place is the passion. All thepeople who volunteer here are here because they want to be

here and make a difference in the lives of kids. And kids, too,

they dont have to come. There is a community, family feeling.
