THE LEAVEN KIDS STRATEGY ➝

Ferrara Home Page

I’ve spent my entire career in law enforcement... that’s why I endorse Leaven Kids, an after-school program that is helping some of our most at-risk children improve their reading, succeed in school, and develop positive character traits. This proven program helps kids improve in the classroom and their families take a stand against gangs and crime.
