But that automated reply is just a tad bit better than the other rescue shelters I contacted who didn't even bother to reply or return a phone call.

This review, while unbiased since I have no young people currently to raise at home nor do I…read morereceive any monetary benefit for my connection to this center, is written by a volunteer. I'm not an employee there (I'm an independent, occasional volunteer at several places including my own charity). My speciality is tutoring of all ages, writing articles and reviews for various publications (semi-autobiographical Kindle book of a female veteran forthcoming), so I thought it only fitting that I write their first review. So...onto my review of the newest Pasco charity for young people, nestled in the heart of the school zone. First, the details: 1. Seeks to serve a clientele who range in age from middle school to high school. That's generally 11+ 2. The owner and founder, Anthony Losacco, is one of the nicest people I've ever met. He's a social worker (caseworker) as his "day job," and I can tell in my interactions with him as both neighbor (since July 2018) and boss (December 2018-current) that he is sincerely interested in providing a much needed service that was not previously provided. 3. There is a board of directors that oversee, so the youth that attend and their partners are assured of discrimination-free services based on need of a safe, fun place to go, without regard to race, ethnicity, gender or gender identify, or interest (there is everything from board games to video games and free tutoring/classes on topics available). I've never seen a group of people put together something so nice, clean and classy, in such a short amount of time. Although, when I interviewed with him and got fingerprinted/background checked for the position, I began to understand how truly God must have given Tony a vision to reach an under-served, at-risk populace. Most of this is done out of his own time and money donations plus those of the volunteers and helpers who I've had the pleasure of meeting in the past six months. 4. Hours and activities TBD. As with any helpful social services nonprofit, it takes time to go from grassroots to a well-oiled machine. So, the beautiful locale is the result of a well-thought-out plan of action. My only hope is that many people in Pasco will step up to the plate...I'm a Hernando County resident with disabilities myself so my help and input are limited by that. But I have no less a heart to see these young people succeed. Bravo, to Anthony and Kiko; to all the volunteers and friends I've made along the way, and to area counselors, youth workers, and ministers I've met who have all presented this beautiful tapestry of supportive services and fun to area tweens and teens.
