Micah McDonald, Terry Strickland, Jake Bouchard, and Adam SmithHaving never met these CR alumni before, I was very impressed with how well-spoken and mature these four young men are. They are all enrolled in college, pursuing meaningful degrees, and still want to give back to their community. In my experiences this is rare and I'm happy to be part of this organization that produces these types of kids." - Elise, CR Staff
