I would love to explain how all this gets done. Forward Paths Foundation

Don't have a need for a speaker for any clubs we belong to right now, but, a very good cause. Don't think most realize what a tragedy it is when these teens are released from "the system" with no support or ability to go on to college or trade school, no idea how to save enough money to find shelter for themselves, etc. Seems (??) a LOT MORE could be done in this area WHILE the state has jurisdiction over these young people.... perhaps bureaucracy just impedes rather than prepares ? But anyway, you are doing MUCH need work !
