Mr. Strawder kept his promise and started his journey by graduating from CSN College in 2017 with a double degree, General Studies, and Mental Behavioral Services. Robert’s dream is to have his program hit the national platform creating positive change in our youth behavior nationwide. He has partnered with corporate sponsors Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Foundation, UNLV Diversity Department, Amazon, Anthem Insurance, and Liberty Dental.
