Meet Leo, ARP Honors Graduate
Leo has since gained employment, lives clean and sober and remains an ever-present support to the men currently in the program. He volunteers his time to work with youth, providing his experience, strength, and hope to those who have experienced the hopelessness the Leo has seen in his life. It is his prayer that those who follow in his footsteps “stay connected, take the advice of others and admit that they are not ready and still need help.” He goes on to say, “The help comes only from the Lord if you take the time to listen.”
