It was the best experience he has ever had. He walked off the plane, seemingly a foot taller. Confidence radiated from him. The skeptic (me) has reluctantly (because I’m always right), come to the realization that this has been an incredibly valuable experience for my son, and will remain valuable throughout his lifetime. He will be a better judge [...]
Most Dads would like to see their kids grow up and leave the nest, and my daughter did just that. She not only left the nest but she provided for herself and proved herself worthy to go out into the world and make a future for herself.
It’s really character building. It really does pay dividends and they are very much more competent when they come back.

Last May he called from school (University of Richmond), and told us of his summer plans…. My husband thought he was insane, and wanted to veto it. I thought he was insane, and knew once he’d decided on something, it would be hard to budge him. I asked him to research your company for the [...]
Thank you for such a wonderful banquet, award ceremony, and overall spectacular evening. My mother, sister, David, and I were thoroughly impressed with how heart-warming, encouraging, and uplifting this entire organization is and has been in developing the extra-ordinary potential of all these wonderful young adults. And….what an absolutely wonderful, unexpected surprise of the family [...]
