one youth at a time<br />
“At age 14, Bobby came to the Youth<br />
Transitions Program (YTP) with<br />
family troubles, personal issues, and<br />
quite a negative attitude toward<br />
school. He had been kicked out <strong>of</strong> his<br />
house, diagnosed with ADHD, had<br />
been involved in crime, attempted<br />
suicide and was battling addictions.<br />
Through encouragement and praise<br />
for his impressive writing skills, Bobby<br />
soon became confident in sharing<br />
his opinions and ideas with the rest<br />
<strong>of</strong> the class.<br />
Bobby completed the program with<br />
his overall attendance record being<br />
one <strong>of</strong> the highest in the class and<br />
at the present, Bobby is attending<br />
a Junior/Senior High School in<br />
Stony Plain. He has completed his<br />
grade 9 courses.<br />
When Bobby last came to visit the<br />
<strong>YMCA</strong> on one <strong>of</strong> his days <strong>of</strong>f from<br />
school, he proudly told us how well he<br />
was now doing in school. He couldn’t<br />
seem to believe how far he had<br />
progressed from only one year ago.<br />
Bobby thanked us for his YTP<br />
experience and still stays in touch<br />
with the <strong>YMCA</strong> today.”<br />
