Testimonials
“Thanks to WYA, I was able to hear from different perspectives and have difficult conversations, making myself a more open-minded, thoughtful, and informed leader.”
— SH, BYRAM HILLS HIGH SCHOOL
The beauty of being a member of such a unique group is that we are united by the desire to care for others. The last thing on the mind of any WYA member is the fact that the person shoveling dirt and debris next to you worships in a temple or a mosque or looks or dresses in a certain way. When you’re among like-minded peers, united in service, the person next to me isn’t a Muslim, Catholic or Jew, they’re a neighbor in the community, a neighbor I’m glad to have.”
— Eric Fedio, High School Senior
“My son does a lot of volunteering with various groups, but WYA is one of his favorites. He loves the diversity of the team and the various causes WYA has chosen to support. There is always a take back or life lesson to be learned on any of these outings. Not only do they learn some useful skills, but more importantly it makes them think too.”
— WYA Parent
