It is time to take action…why?

“For the first time in history of this country, young people are less healthy and less prepared to take their place in society than their parents.”“Employers grouped leadership as one of the essential skills entry-level workers lacked. These skills included strong work ethics, problem solving, and creativity along with organizational and interpersonal skills.”
