“Before taking part in the YMCA’s Youth Transitions Program (YTP), I was feeling pretty hopeless. I didn’t think I had what it takes to be a functional human being. The YTP team showed me how to set goals and helped me work towards them or connected me with people who could. Now I have a job, a way to get there, and am constantly growing as a musician. I still have hard days, but it’s easier when you know that the Y has your back.” – Kennedy, Youth Transitions Program participant
