What our Community has to say:

  • "Where should I start Carmella is a role model for the kind of person I want my child to come in contact with when it comes to advocating & navigating youth resources. The passion and vision she has to see that our youth succeed and survive the daily struggles in today’s society is unmatched. I am extremely grateful to have Carmella as part of our village because it takes a village and that’s a fact!"

  • I had the privilege of working with Carmella closely and watching her pour her soul into bettering the kids' lives. She is very persistent and will not stop just because "No" has previously been the answer or "It can't be done." She always knows where she stands and the kids come first."
