Honest, Positive, Uplifting

It's so rare to find an organization that is not only unafraid to let teens be teens, but puts them in charge. Croya does it and does it well. This book gives a solid look into the Croya organization: past, present and future. I'd long held the theory that if given the opportunity young people can do amazing things - Croya proves it. Well worth the read for anyone who has kids or works with them.
