156. Impact “My son has benefited enormously from participating in the SOS program. He can explore challenges and friendships in an environment free from the pressures of school, and is recognized for what he brings to the team rather than by academic standards.” “I have personally witnessed how SOS transformed the lives of countless children in the middle school where I taught as well as the high school where I currently teach. It has helped kids stay on the "straight and narrow"…kids who I could see were headed for a weak future.”
