PPP also provides parenting skills workshops and information for the parents of our pals. "It is our desire to assist our students in meeting their needs and letting them know that they have someone who will listen to their concerns," says Fran Kelley, CEO of PPP. Mrs. Kelley and her team of volunteers work tirelessly to assure that curriculum activities and fun time is meaningful and on point for each child. "Because the students needs are so great, what we have done is just a drop I the bucket" Kelley continues, "But with God's help and the help of like-minded community members who truly care for and about at risk youth, we will continue to work with our "pals" to help make their outcome Positive".
