Engaging with our community is essential for creating a thriving society. It’s heartbreaking to know that over 20% of youth in Tampa face significant challenges, including poverty and limited life skills. These obstacles can be overwhelming, but organizations like Kids and Canines offer hope and a path forward. They help at-risk youth develop crucial life skills through the therapeutic practice of dog training. This innovative approach instills responsibility, patience, empathy, and builds confidence and self-esteem.
