Devin, YELLS GraduateIt makes you feel good to give back.
DevinThe kids don’t always talk about their day at school, but they always want to talk about their day at YELLS.
Tosha Freeman, Afterschool Program ParentBecause we learn about the community [from community members] we are more knowledgeable about the needs of the community.
ToriI take everything I learned from YELLS everywhere I go. Your vision is truly being lived out through students like me.
Jonah, YELLS BigYELLS has been a medium where I can actively change a life, and actively manipulate my own life to be what I want it to be.
Ana, YELLS BigYELLS allowed me to see that all people have something to offer.
Imani, YELLS BigWhen we first came to America we were timid. When we came to YELLS my mentality changed… YELLS has helped me to keep my family together and organized. Taking care of kids by YELLS is wonderful!
Patience Ehehom, YELLS advocate since 2012At [the Community Action Café] we get people who sacrifice so much for us, and that motivates us to help those around us.
ToriThe kids out here [on Franklin Road] are all looking for a better future, and we help them find that better future.
