Journal of today’s activities:

Today I met with the Chief Probation Officer of Napa County and her team. I am very happy to have had a full hour to describe our Straight-A Guide Cognitive Skills Development Program. Ms. Butler and her team gave me their full attention while I spoke about the origins of our program and the value we could add to any organization that worked with people who were vulnerable to problems with the criminal justice system. After I left Napa county, I had dinner with my friend and mentor, Lee Nobmann. Lee and I discussed the steps that Justin and I are taking to develop our organization. Lee encouraged me to find and train more formerly incarcerated individuals who can work with us to teach the Straight-A Guide program to people in custody. I’m looking forward to bringing another facilitator on my next training day at the Santa Clara County Juvenile Hall.
