Juventud was a great program for me when I attended Black Hawk Middle School 2000-2003. I had 3 coordinators that impacted my life. Luis, Patrick, and Cecilia. Juventud helped me meet wonderful people at other middle schools that are still great friends of mine. If it wasn’t for Juventud, I believe that I wouldn’t be where I am right now.

Hi Luis,
It is so great to hear that Juventud made a difference in your life. Juventud is continuing to impact the lives of youth and it really helps us to know that former participants think that what we are doing is worthwhile. Please keep in touch.
Best,
Kent
