A Heartfelt Thank You
Heartfelt thank you to everyone who donated to Waterbury Youth Services during Give Local sponsored by Connecticut Community Foundation. By supporting WYS, you affirmed your confidence in our efforts to guide youth to discover their unique talents and potential for success. Thank you for being a partner in strengthening our community! We are so grateful for your support.
Never Give Up
Never give up and pay it forward is the message from CJ, WYS student since 2014. "Kids go through a lot at home, at school. It’s easy to give up. WYS has been a big support system for me. Once you start there, you feel like family. WYS has always given me somewhere to go, kept me out of trouble, kept me in the right state of mind. It’s just been a really big help. I love music. I love dancing, especially Hip Hop and R&B. I love working with kids. So now, I’m a volunteer dance instructor at WYS. I hope to have the same effect on the kids that WYS had on me."
