“I would like to thank you for taking me by the hand and showing me the way. I came back for the training and it wasn’t long before I told my best friend about the program. She came to YES, got registered and she got a job at the OC Fair through the YES program…When I went to the job site the supervisor knew that I was coming and everything just flowed. When the job at the OC Fair ended my supervisor said, ‘I wish that I had more kids like you who worked for me. I want you to come back next summer.’ That made me smile. Thanks again for everything.”

“I am now a full time employee at Gruett Tree Company and will be studying to be an arborologist. It took so long, but I landed the most awesome job. I want to thank you for investing your time in me. I couldn’t have done it without you.”
