"Being
new to Cleveland and starting a new career, BVU has been instrumental
in getting me involved in the community much more quickly and effectively
than would have occurred through my own networking. After taking time
to understand my interests and passions, BVU introduced me to Cleveland
Reads - providing me with the opportunity to serve a mission that is very
meaningful to me"
