“Hi, I’m Malik Brown and I’ve been sponsored by the Youth Career Program to go to trade school, to get a full trade. And they’re going to provide me with a job at the end of this. And it’s been a great opportunity. I’ve been learning new things, learning about myself. It’s been an amazing opportunity.”

“Hi, my name’s Christina Gardner and I want to talk about my experience at the YCP program. The first thing’s first, they offered me a scholarship, full paid, to go to trade school. Took full advantage of that. And I feel like that was the best opportunity that I ever had in my life. And not only did they offer a scholarship, I will be presented a job at the end of the program. So with that being said, I wholeheartedly, recommend a whole lot of people go through the Brooks Crossing Center.”
