for boys. The program was expanded to
comfort zones. children who are “At Risk” including ones
permanently placed in a home. Permanency
does not fix the scars because they run deep. The current No Barriers
program will accept children in the eighth grade because next year they
start high school. The range will be thirteen to eighteen. This offers a larger
population for applications.

collaborating to help. We have selected two excellent men counselors with
principal level experience, fostered children and have adopted children.
This was a gift from heaven to bring this depth of teaching experience and
understanding to lead this population of children. They are currently in the
selection process for the students, all from Collier County.
