It’s not always easy to step into unfamiliar spaces, but that first step is often the most important. As Martin Luther King Jr. reminded us, ‘’The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.’’ (1) At Justine PETERSEN, we believe that creating meaningful change begins with these steps. By engaging with our community, we strive to build assets, change lives, and pave the way for a brighter future.
