It Takes a Village...

At HiTOPS we know that “it takes a village...” and we rely on many local and national partnerships to maximize limited resources and successfully achieve our mission. In addition to the important partners who play a role in educational programs or healthcare services, HiTOPS wants to recognize the many partners who provided financial support this year for programs and services that directly benefitted adolescents with life-saving knowledge, skills, and professional care. These community partnerships are also a source of tremendous encouragement within this recessionary economy.
