Youth Success Stories

Meet Monica Martinez

“South Bay WIB’s YouthBuild is a program of opportunity, and all you need to do is take it. Don’t be afraid to achieve your goals. Do it for yourself. Prove to yourself that you can grow. You won’t regret it. This is me giving you that push. Take it and become better.”

Meet Marcelle Harris

“Believe in what this agency says and communicate with them often.”

Meet Tiona Sykes

“I would tell others that asking for help is one of the most important things we can do for our well-being. If you don’t share your struggles with someone else, then you suffer in silence.”

Meet Felissa Preciado

“I became more cordial and empathetic to others because I was given the opportunity to see how it’s like to work during a pandemic. I seek out opportunities that come along and step out of your comfort zone to network with people and learn.”
