What We're Planning for the Future

Over the coming years, Project First Step has an interest in growing and expanding our program to reach out to more children, across the country. With an established test site in Albion, MI, PFS would like to move onward to a national scale. With the recent presentation in Washington D.C. now behind us, we are looking at established programs such as the National Youth Sports Program (NYSP), and other organizations for funding and assistance. Below are just a few snippets of the presentation put on in D.C:
