Leadership & Staff
A Great Idea in 1939,
A Better Idea TODAY
The year was 1939 and construction began on a bridge to the future for thousands of children from Polk County. The initial architect for this bridge was James J. Musso, Sr. His vision laid the foundation for that first bridge and built an organization that would serve the Boys of Polk County and help provide the direction they needed to become successful participating citizens of their community.
