WHAT OUR CHAMPIONS SAY
Being a Youth Champion, I have developed a new positive outlook on life. The program provided me with the opportunity to read empowering books and to meet leading professionals from various industries and get personalized advice. I also learned financial management skills so I could better save money to pay for my college while also being able to treat myself.
ANGEL RODRIGUEZ
Youth Champions Alumni
I joined Youth Champions because I saw an extraordinary opportunity for me to develop my leadership and financial literacy skills. What motivates me to continue participating in this program is the valuable experience and knowledge that I gain through the weekly workshops, as well as the incredible staff and facilitators. I would like to thank Youth Champions for providing me and many others with an environment to continually learn and flourish.

Current Youth Champions Student
Once I stepped out of my comfort zone and started attending the trips, I found that they were great opportunities to meet new individuals and have fun. Seeing me now, you would never think that I used to be a socially awkward guy but it’s all because Youth Champions wants us, the students, to achieve better for ourselves. This new mindset will follow me into college and my future goals and is something that I will never forget and truly be grateful towards.
