WHEREAS, After graduation, Neil Bosanko joined the Peace Corp/VISA program to work on Project Find, a program created by the Office of the Governor. Employing his experience working with different ethnic groups during those high school days, Mr. Bosanko helped senior citizens who weren't fluent in English understand and access social services that were available to them throughout the city and the nation's Midwest.

Mr. Bosanko took it upon himself to hold meetings between the various ethnic groups in order to pursue a dialogue on how this seminal event had affected the community; and
WHEREAS, Neil Bosanko's passion is not limited to his public service. It also extends to his private life. He has opened his home to at-risk teens that needed a strong, positive, and influential individual in their lives who could show them the path to prosper as a member of society. The teens Mr. Bosanko took in were dropouts, addicts and parents. Because of his guidance, many were able to break the vicious and destructive cycles in which these teens found themselves. The vast majority of those sheltered graduated high school and some advanced into two and four year institutions of higher learning; and

He understood from a young age that dialogue and cultural relativism can be powerful tools to strengthen the bonds between communities who may not share the same world views.
