Hinweis der Redaktion
- YES curriculum developed over 15 years, modified each year based on business feedback about what they saw lacking in entry-level employees.
- Food gets kids in the door. Then we have to keep them. Eddie Rodriguez taught me that.
- Pass out the hand out at this point so they can look at the agenda. Talk about the general organization of the agenda: two classes back to back so volunteers can teach two sessions, start with team building day 1 and 2, put the heavy day as day 3, etc. Review of what’s in the classes will come with photos.

I learned so much in four days that I would never have learned in years.” Taken from one of the students’ thank you letters. “What a great and meaningful and well-organized program. Thanks so much for including me.” Comment from volunteer evaluation form
