"Every action we take aligns with our goal to turn our participants into problem-solvers and risk-takers; those who take responsibility for their own actions; those who [act with] commitment, perseverance and grit; and those that have found their passion(s) by defining and understanding themselves and blazing their own path.
-Dr. Michael Baroody, MD, Founder of the 1214 Foundation
