"I love Partnership For Learning!  This program gives teenagers a second chance, and turns a mistake into an opportunity for growth.  I also get a behind-the-scenes look into the juvenile justice system.  I learn so much from the kids, and I love having the chance to make a difference in their lives.  The Shriver Center has been a valuable tool in helping me gain experience."
