"Our goal," says William Slow, director of the program for the last seven years, "is to take each kid and have them reach their potential  to get them into a paid, full-time position so that they can become active participants in our society with as much independence as possible."

Parents play an important part in helping the program reach its goal.  They help strengthen and sustain the program through their support and encouragement of their children.  PROSPER is the parent organization that helps the program maintain its high level of effectiveness through fundraising and buying needed equipment for the classrooms.
