History:
Our heritage and our own unique ability to respond to our clients' individual needs define the strengths of our organization. Our board of directors, staff, and volunteers exemplify our belief that giving of oneself is fulfilling. Confidentiality is vital to the provision of programs and services and our commitment to our clients is long-term. We continue to empower the children and families we serve to reach their full potential by responding to clients' unique needs that are unmet by other agencies.
