"I have been a Police Officer for almost 30 years and worked specifically in schools with young people for the past 16 years and have never witnessed such a powerful, unforgettable experience that your staff provided. The visit to your Warriors base turned out to be the highlight of the program that I have been running this year with my group of at-risk kids. Even I, as a cynical, older Police officer, was absolutely impressed by what your program provided. Invaluable!"
