Meet Lou, one of our participants at Concordance Academy. Lou was removed from the community at the young age of 16. Upon release, he was faced with learning how to navigate a world very different from how he remembered it. He was challenged with trusting new relationships and embracing the feeling of freedom. His dedication to the program, partnered with his drive to succeed, has resulted in an extraordinary story that will inspire you. Today, Lou is living an abundant life full of love, learning, and hope. His journey highlights the opportunities made possible when individual resilience is met with an array of holistic services designed to meet varying individual needs.
