Jan & Gary Crosby – The Last Frontier

We originally met Jennie and Eric on a volunteer project through A Year to Volunteer back in February of 2022 at Sam Houston Jones State Park in Lake Charles, Louisiana.  We are so grateful for Y2V.  Not only for the opportunity to make a difference throughout the country, but for the amazing community that we have become a part of.  If it wasn’t for Y2V, this epic Alaskan group adventure would have never taken place.  Sure, we probably would have all made it to Alaska at some point during our individual full-time journeys, but to be able to experience the last frontier with this small group of friends is truly what put the trip over the top for all of us.

Kelli Stewart – It’s Time to L.E.A.D.

Today, Kelli, and her husband, C.J. Stewart, oversee two business ventures that they started together. Through Diamond Directors, they train and develop some of the country’s top amateur and professional baseball athletes; Jason Heyward (Los Angeles Dodgers), Dexter Fowler (Chicago Cubs, World Series Champion), Andruw Jones (former Atlanta Brave), Peter Alonso (NY Mets), Kyle Lewis (Arizona Diamondbacks), and Andrew McCutchen (Pittsburgh Pirates) are a few notable professional clients. Through L.E.A.D., they train and develop some of Atlanta’s hidden treasures in Atlanta Public Schools. L.E.A.D. provides inner city boys with the same opportunities to excel in life through baseball as the Stewarts’ Diamond Directors clients with the focus being accessing higher education and community leadership. To date, L.E.A.D. Ambassadors have achieved a 100% high school graduation rate and a 91% college enrollment and scholarship rate (academic and athletic).

Kelli and CJ have two beautiful daughters, Mackenzi (Southern University) and Mackenna (The Lovett School).

Alan Lazaros – Leveling Up on Self Improvement

Alan lost his father at age 2, when he passed away in a car accident. At age 26, after getting into a nearly fatal car accident himself, he questioned everything he was doing in life. He questioned who he was and the choices he was making. He was at an all-time low, and he learned the hard way that external success is empty when it’s not aligned with who you really are and who you really aspire to be.

Filled with pain, regret, and confusion, he searched for answers and finally found what he had been missing all this time, Holistic Self-Improvement. After that, he dug DEEP into every podcast, course, Ted Talk, and book he could get his hands on.

This process not only transformed his entire life, but it also helped him muster the courage to trade in an unfulfilling career for a deeply meaningful calling he was proud to go ALL IN on.
