Darren
I am sad that you can’t see me now and see how much better of a person I have become. I have matured a lot and see things in this world a lot differently. I have no one else to thank but all of you who helped me when no one else would or could.

You gave me the chance to not feel alone. You gave me someone to talk to and you pointed me in the right directions. It was my hard work and your understanding that helped me. Thank you.

Lancaster staff have been there for me since arriving. I see the program as a home and the staff are my family. They help motivate me and make me feel worthy when I don’t have faith in myself. The staff genuinely care about me and that makes me feel special.

The staff are all great, everything they do for me makes me feel like I have a home. They take care of me, make sure I have everything I need, give me hugs, and teach me new things like how to fish. I love all of my staff family and I know they’ll always be here to care for and help me.

Vincent
The most important thing I learned from Youth Impact was not to be scared to say how I feel and not to just keep my feelings inside all the time. The staff helped me be a better and happier me.

Jon
I find our time has really helped me learn about what I was going through. I feel a lot better than I did a year ago. My relationship with my dad is much better and I don’t feel like I need to use drugs as much.

Sally
The staff gave me a home where they like me just the way I am. They support me and help me without making me feel bad about myself. I learned a lot here and wish I could stay until I graduate high school.

Susan
I learned to think positively and always try again and again. You succeed by not giving up and there will be ups and downs, but this is life and I have to fight with life to achieve my goals.

Youth Impact Jeunesse woke me up in a lot of ways. Mostly about work ethics, job skills, and life in general. Overall, I feel like this is my home because staff are great and respectful which makes me feel very happy and lucky to have some people who care about how I feel and also walk me through my problems without getting frustrated. I wish I could have stayed longer but someone else needs help like I did, and I hope they enjoyed it and learn and grow as much as I did. I wouldn’t change anything about Youth Impact Jeunesse because you guys changed me completely. You guys are part of me now, I love you guys!
