TESTIMONIALS FROM ASSOCIATES

Dear Tom and Sandra and all supporters of Plugged In Teens,

I would like to thank you and the Teen Band program for a great performance each year at Kate's Memorial Birthday Party. Our event is all about raising awareness of teen issues and putting together resources that help kids cope in a difficult world. Music is our primary medium in this quest, and the Plugged In Teen program is a model of how to make music work to help kids be all they can be...

In my 4 years of involvement with your program, I have nothing but positive experiences. All participants in the program have the same chance to learn and grow and follow their interests. Teens are proud of what they accomplish, and it helps them build skills they will use often in their everyday life. The are very few programs available to teens and young adults that offer such an inclusive environment to learn and support each other. In this time of schools cutting sports and music programs it is especially encouraging to see a program such as this providing such an important function in the private sector. It's a win for the students, a win for parents, and certainly a win for the communities that support this program. The students that have been involved with this program will be much better people and are likely to return that support and energy back into society as they grow older. What a great program to be a part of....Thank-you!
