Testimonials

See what our youth and community partners think about the program.

Youth Futures is a very beneficial program; the mentors are calm and relatable – it’s good to have people of our own communities succeeding and having that representation in real life. The program itself was well done, great guests and speakers. The Summer Employment is a great way to guarantee a job for yourself and it helps you make connections and learn how to work in a professional environment.
