Thanks again for your donation of time and talent to guide us." - Jim Hampton, CEO Clay County Economic Development, Missouri

"There is a man from our community who was addicted to crack for 30 years. He participates regularly in your grassroots project. He told me the reason he is so committed is because your program gives him a chance to show his children that he can GIVE BACK to the community what he spent 30 years taking from it" - Teresa Clardy, KCK Workforce Partnership

"We just had our steering committee wrap-up for 2015... Everyone really appreciated your presentation, it ranked among the two best speakers. I think it really shows an interest in how to make something happen in our rural communities." -
