The Impact of Our Volunteers

"Children are apt to live up to what you believe of them" Lady Bird Johnson

The "you" are volunteers that have the ability to listen and speak in such a way that a child will know someone is on their side, someone believes in them, is interested in their overall success, and someone is advocating for them. - Michelle McBee
