Youth Quotes and Comments
“I love working with the
kids. They look up to me
and I take pride in that.”
“Working here this
summer made me
truly appreciate all
the work that goes
into operating a
school each year. I
have learned so
much.”
“I’ve learned a lot since joining
Youth Build. I couldn’t even
read a tape measure and now I
know how to sheet rock and
even more. We’ve also teamed
up with Habitat for Humanity.
We volunteered for them and
insulated one of their houses
on East Chester St.”
“This job actually helped me gain
experience towards my career goals.
My supervisor gave me tasks that
required problem solving. I want to be
an engineer when I grow up and this
summer I became a critical thinker.”

“My favorite part of the
program this summer was
forming connections with the
campers. I helped them
become more social with
their peers, be active, and
have fun!”

“She is great and I knew it
early on, which is why I
have offered her a job
throughout the schoolyear.
Fortunately for me, she
has accepted it!”
“I’ve never seen an individual his age
be so motivated and prepared to
work. He has been outstanding. I am
hiring him!”
“Although he is young,
(participant) is very mature for his
age. He can distinguish himself
between attendee and employee
at the youth center. I am very
happy to have him back again.

“This was his best year yet! He
handles multiple situations
between campers extremely
well. I think he should go into
this field, it comes naturally to
him.”
Town of Marlborough Camp“Participant has
been an excellent
worker. She takes
initiative and pride
in her work. I love
having her.”

“Thank you for sending him over to us. He was
such a polite and conscientious young man.
When I first met him, I was impressed how well he
caught on to what we expected from him. I hope
to have him back next year.”
