I give to Community Youth Concepts because I am paying a personal debt to the elders in my life who supported my dreams by opening doors of opportunity for me. Our future as a community, as a state, and as a nation is all about our young people’s aspirations and hopes for tomorrow. Community Youth Concepts embraces the joy of working with young people and talking about their interests and their exciting future plans.
