The Impact Youth Resources Had Made On Young Lives

“As I look back at the activities of which I am currently involved, I cannot help think about the skills and opportunities that I can really trace back to my Youth Resources’ experiences and how they prepared me for the future and formed into who I am today.”

From Kathryn (Kendall) Veldhuizen TAC ’99-‘03

”My memories from Youth Resources remind me that there are giving and selfless people out there serving in a wide variety of capacities. Youth Resources has provided a kinship for those of us who feel they can make a difference.”

From Sarah Thurman TAC ‘94-’98 & Teen Power ’96

“Youth Resources is a large part of the reason I want to spend my career helping others. I can only hope to have half as much impact on those I work with in the future as the staff and programs of Youth Resources have had on me.”

From Mandy Ryan TAC ’97-‘01

“Teamwork was the biggest gift that Youth Resources gave to me. In college, I was forced to work in teams in every class I had, and if it had not been for Youth Resources I would not have had the tools to deal with different types of people and be successful in groups.”

From Natalie Mehringer, TAC ’95-’99 & TeenPower ’97-‘98

“The Youth Resources programs gave me friendships and support through very challenging years. This, in turn, pushed me and guided me onto an early path of leadership. These experiences gave me confidence to move beyond my comfort zone and take on new challenges in college and since graduation. I have gone on to start new youth programs in communities throughout Indiana and I serve on Boards of Directors for other non-profits.

From Brian Dixon TAC ’95-’97 & TeenPower ’96-‘98
