Awards
Guiding other people toward the realization of their dreams is not just the essence of our mission statement; it’s our own dream. By pursuing this dream with vigor, we have earned recognition and praise from numerous organizations across the U.S., as well as internationally.
Each award we received has its own story, but a common thread – providing services and resources to families and children needing them in order to become successful, vibrant people – is woven into every one.
