Mission Statement

2. Project Yes Youthbuild gave me a chance to better my life in such a way as to further my education and by helping prepare me for employment. One of the most important ways that the program gave me a second chance is by helping me further my education. They helped me to find a college to go to, plus they helped me fill out the paperwork to get in. For example, I found a program at Community College of Philadelphia called Dual Admissions. I will go to CCP for about one year and then go to Temple for the rest of my schooling. Now I am working on filling out the paperwork to get the money I need to pay for college. These forms are called FAFSA. Another way that YouthBuild is helping is to prepare me for employment. They have been having me practice my interviewing skills. And using the computer to find what employers are currently looking for people to hire. Because of the second chance the Project YES YouthBuild program has given me, I believe I am a better person with a bright future. � Andrew Mcfall
