The YES GRADS
are YES Company Alumni High School Graduates who serve as
mentors and present performance pieces as YES COMPANY
fundraisers.
Additionally, because YES Company has expanded to produce
activities throughout the school year focused on Junior High
and Elementary students mentored by YES COMPANY GRADS and
Alumni. Through this experience of mentoring both parties
benefit. The mentors obtain knowledge and skill in the
areas of communication as they hone their own talents and
share those abilities with younger students.
Serving as
role models they examine their own choices and responsibilities and the positive
effect they can have on another person’s life. As they proceed into adult life
this experience will have a considerable affect as they become conscientious
community members. Those they mentor are afforded attention and shared
experiences on a profound level, which ideally should be available to many more
youth who are in need.
