What Members Say
"If I wasn’t here, I would miss all the fun and I wouldn’t be the person I am today." – AJ
"I think about the world differently now. I know that recycling is important, and that Leave No Trace is not a rule but a way of life." - Luis
"My life goal is to be somebody that the community looks up to. I set my goal based on what I have learned from the WILL program; it has impacted so many lives in positive ways. I now take the challenges that come up, dissect them, and work through them because I now know, thanks
to the WILL program, that I can overcome anything." - Labrina
"A major goal I have in life is to be successful at whatever I do and I believe WILL can help me accomplish this goal because this program helps
me with my decision making and leadership skills." - Brandon
"WILL' is really a word saying 'yes you can' instead of giving up." - Domonique
"Now I look at myself and say, "I am proud of you, Hector." - Hector
"He (Steve) actually cares about young people in DC or he would never have created this program. Because of him I am now trying to become a
better, stronger leader in my community, my school, and my home." - Arthur
"When I began the WILL program, I thought all I could do was join the Army; WILL opened my eyes to care about the environment and to
believe that college is in my future." - Dream
