I teach at a juvenile detention center - a youth jail, and many of our kids who come here have already dropped out of school or come from the foster care system. At our program, we work to help youth get back on academic track, learn the importance of an education and realize their potential to achieve in life. Everyone's donations have helped us bring many wonderful resources to enhance our children's educational experiences. We thank you all and wish for your continued support!
