Erin O'Brien, a Senior Director in CPI's IT department, volunteered to mentor four sophomores as they navigate high school and their futures.  "Mentoring with CYC has been one of the greatest gifts — a chance to serve my community, pour into the next generation, and witness firsthand the strength and brilliance of these young people," O'Brien said. "What I didn't expect was how much they would pour into me. Their courage, determination, and dreams constantly inspire me to think differently, do better, and dig deeper for my own grit. It's a joy to be part of an organization that leads with heart and shows up for its youth in powerful, lasting ways." On Friday, CYC presented CPI Security with the key to CYC UniverCity, as the non-profit's donor of the year. In addition to the award, 77 seniors graduated from the CYC program Friday night. They were awarded several scholarships and honors as they each head to their respective colleges in the fall.
