"FPS helped me develop critical thinking and problem solving skills that I use to teach in my classroom and in running our family business. Community Problem Solving helped me understand the value of those skills through real-world application which is why I have worked so hard to develop and maintain the program in my own school district. I am a first generation college graduate and the skills and experiences I had in FPS largely contributed to my interest in pursuing my college degrees."
