“The support of my mentor and the support of this program have closed the opportunity gap for me. It has given me the advantage I would not have had otherwise.”
– JENNIFER, GRADUATED NPFY YOUTH
“I knew I wanted the life that my mentor was offering and modeling.  One of honesty, of hard work, of depth and vulnerability. With my mentor’s help, I now know I can have it if I commit to consistently doing the right thing, and telling the truth, even when it is hard.”
– NATE, NPFY YOUTH
