"Every summer I look forward to attending the summer program. This year I was hired as a counselor at the camp and it got me thinking about a career in social work because I love helping kids and I had a great time applying the skills I had observed the staff utilizing over the years".

"Home was a hard place to be at, but I knew I could always turn to one place for any kind of help I needed – the Family Center".

"The LINK Summer Camp was where I first met the staff and I knew they were people I can rely on. They helped and supported me through the tough times that I had. I owe these people everything. They are some of the best people I know".
