TESTIMONIAL

BTOC is a safe place to truly be yourself without judgment. It is a place to make friends and meet people with similar interests to yours. Not only is it a fantastic experience just to have something to do and somewhere to go, it also provides opportunities to help people within the community.

– Amari, Student

This is a GREAT place for our community. It is a safe haven for kids to come hang out and learn self help skills they will use in real life. There are many different activities that go on up there. I know my son LOVES going there. Thank you for everything you guys do for our children!!!

– Katie, Parent

BTOC taught me to see importance and value in every single person, including myself. Without the positive guiding influence of this group and its leader, I know without a doubt my life would not be in the positive place it is now.
