Student Leader, age 16

Off Ramp would never be successful if it hadn’t been for Arthur Orsini. Arthur was able to guide us throughout the year, and to provide us with a different view about the world ...and that saving the environment is a social responsibility (making it) fun and interesting. Since Off Ramp became active, our number of people driving to school decreased by almost 70%, and staff and students work hard together to maintain (this). Arthur Orsini was an outstanding mentor for our group.
