I graduated in January 1997. I am wondering what others think about starting some kind of Alumni Association. I know it is a big undertaking, but for what the Program gave me I am willing to do whatever it takes. Since graduating I have spent four years in the Marine Corps and am now training to be a Firefighter/Paramedic. 

The YCA Academy provided our daughter with the opportunity

for a brighter future. Most importantly, as parents it gave us hope

and the desire to believe again when all seemed so very dim.

Needless to say we have become true supporters if the

Youth Challenge Academy.  We pray that it will forever exist,

helping those in need, providing sunshine in the mist of cloudy

days. Once again, thank you very much for everything. YCA

has made a difference in our lives.
