Goals:

However, for Quint, the numbers aren’t necessarily the end all be all; “It is all about quality vs. quantity. Growing to serve as many kids as possible is one thing, but fine-tuning the program, and making the organization the best it can be is most important.” Quint also believes in measurable success at PYB, or “creating tangible measurements of growth, which helps with donors exponentially.” Quint is also driven to the creation of a new facility where PYB can host thousands of kids, inspire them, and give them the right tools to reach their goals.
