"I have really grown through this experience, and I am so grateful to have been a part of YES! In a practical sense, I have learned a lot about the non-profit world, networking with similar organizations, and working in an office setting. In a personal sense, I have gained a greater appreciation for the values celebrated by YES! staff and readers. I really liked the perspective those affiliated with YES! have on the work they are doing and on the world today. I hope to emulate that perspective as I continue on my own way."
—Brian, Education Intern (February—May 2004)
