OUR
WORK
The Sanford Center serves the community through several programs and services in support of its mission to build character in youth. Having the community center and these services in place make outreach efforts more successful.
BUILDING
COMMUNITY
When it comes to building community at the Sanford Center, Executive Director Fitz Grant believes it starts with finding those individuals who are in need.
“It’s running up to them and saying listen, I know you have a need, and I will be there for you. I will help you push through, and help you become that somebody I know you can become. That’s what we want to do at this agency. Make people believe they can do anything they want to. We do that by spending time with them and building them up. One person at a time, one conversation at a time, one visit at a time, we build them up.”
