QUOTE

“I truly understand the importance of mental health resources and strongly believe that a good program can shape a child’s outlook on life in very important ways. We cannot underestimate the impact that one organization like NWP can make. It’s a privilege to help those that cannot help themselves. We are in a unique position to influence those around us. What better way to do that than to shape the next generation of leaders in our communities?”
