Educational Philosophy:

I believe in engaging the audience for better understanding and open communication. I also believe that it takes a community to raise a child; therefore, our information is important for everyone to be aware of regardless of their parental status. Our program spends a large percentage of our time with high school students; educating our youth will hopefully lead to a safer future for our children.
