Les has been working with Project Hope Foundation since October 2012. Prior to coming to Hope, he spent time working with high school students in the public school system.

Les’s favorite part of working with Hope is getting to witness meaningful change for both the children and their families. He says “every day spent working with Hope Reach is an extremely fulfilling experience; there is no better feeling than seeing a child get excited to see you each day and knowing that you are there to make a difference in that child’s life.”
