Gratitude

At Portland YouthBuilders, students graduate and move on to other opportunities throughout the year, not just during the traditional June graduation season. Last week one of our most recent graduates, Cameron, stopped by a staff member's office to say thanks for all that PYB has offered to him over the past year.

He told her, "If it weren't for PYB, I would've still been living with my mom, drinking and doping. I'd probably be dead by now. So PYB literally saved my life."

Obviously PYB played a part in helping to change Cameron's life around, but all of the hard work and dedication came purely from him. So Cameron, you're welcome... and many thanks to YOU for not giving up. We're all very proud of you.
