What kids say about Northwest Youth Corps

2005 youth participant quotes:

“This experience at NYC has taught me self motivation, the value of hard work, and certainly helped me practice my communication and cooperation skills. These are all things I can use in real life.”
-- Laura A.

“All in all this session of Northwest Youth Corps has been one of the greatest ever, we’ve completed all of our projects, completed all of our hours, and had a lot of fun doing it. Friendships were made, hardships were endured, journeys were taken, but in the end, we all pulled through and made it. A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. NYC is that step.”
-- Joseph P.

“I will always be more respectable of the outdoors and people’s differences, and be more appreciative of all of the things I have at home.”
-- Damian W.

“I learned a lot about pushing myself, and how to change for the better. When something wasn’t going well, I learned to turn it around into a learning experience. I’ve also learned the value of teamwork, and good communication.”
-- T.D.

“I will always remember my experience here—working hard, hanging out with my crew, living in the woods, and making beautiful trail. It has been a great experience, and I feel I have taken a lot away from this program.”
-- Grey P.
