Take a look what they have to say about Youth4Youth!
In classes and in the hallways you can see more students doing things to help each other. More importantly, the students are conscious of each other and of everyone’s need to belong, to be respected, and to be listened to. - Scott Pecze - Teacher/Advisor - Amherst Junior High

AND THE LIST GOES ON AND ON!Secret of the Can
Most people get distracted by the drama and the garbage of
life. Knowing "The Secret of the Can" gives you the freedom to
pursue your dreams and direction in life.
This fast paced session with author and Youth4Youth founder, Larry Tracey and his “garbage can” has been described as down-to-earth motivating and inspiring.
Larry shares tools that have helped thousands of teens and adults avoid wandering down the road of personal destruction by sending them on a journey of personal construction.
Address bullying issues from all sides, as you discover the four types of people and their role in the bullying process. Empower victims and by-standers.
Larry uses humor, personal experiences and audience interaction, helping students and staff understand how to apply these principles to their daily lives. “When you practice the secret you will no longer be distracted by the garbage of life. You will be free to pursue your dreams and direction in life.”

Elisha
Two years ago Elisha
was always in fights, had pulled a knife on a fellow student, was
failing in school, & suspended…suspended…suspended. He states, “Youth4Youth is the reason I’m still in school…it changed my life!”
Marcus
Marcus was mundane and shy. His guidance counselor suggested Marcus join Youth4Youth. He began to develop leadership skills and as a result was selected to go to Washington, DC, as a student ambassador. While there he met
then Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice, who was so impressed with him that she called Marcus when he returned home and offered him financial support to pursue a career in History or Politics.
