Connection
I was asked to join the leadership board for Channeled Paths, Inc. and I am honored to do so. When I met Cheryl Carswell and Phillip Stockard, I was immediately drawn to them. Their passion for helping at-risk youth in this area is so inspiring. They both have extensive history in counseling services and working with children. Phillip even worked as a teacher and principal, and his heart for helping children is evident when you hear his story.
Children are the future. And with so many bad things going on in this world, it’s so important to help set them up for success. Children are extremely impressionable, and unfortunately are often forced to deal with things that no child should have to. With organizations like Channeled Paths, we can help make sure these children have the support they need. Let’s help our community grow and thrive with children that are empowered and strong.
