Sometimes, it's all about the people.
These are the people that this program truly hits the ball home for. Seeing kids come into this program, incapable of interacting with others in a social setting (often extremely gifted), given the opportunity to learn, grow and mature in a safe and friendly environment...

Working with some of these kids has definitely been one of my biggest victories too.
