I am priviledged to be working for an organization that provides services that mean so much to over 2,000 individuals each day. For nearly 70 years, The Don Bosco Centers have been a beacon of hope to the residents of Northeast Kansas City. The organization is so very fortunate to have such hard-working, dedicated individuals who are passionate about their work. Don Bosco has also been extremely fortunate to have the generous support of individuals, corporations and foundations in Kansas City and beyond that have allowed us to succeed in reaching our mission. I look forward to continuing these exceptional relationships. Together we can make a difference in Kansas City's urban core.
