“NCYLS has taught me so much! I can't believe how much I have learned about myself. I learned to let go and trust other people. My opinion is that as many people as possible should come to NCYLS. NCYLS is one of the best things for high school students. I want more than anything to come back and help.”
- Paige Ramstack, San Mateo High School
“The entire experience changed my life and is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I have been to numerous conferences from a few hours in duration to twenty three days, conferences with no budget at all to the largest amount possible. I can clearly say there is nothing that even comes close to this program. I think it is so important that it really needs to expand.”
- Bradley Bottoms, Junipero Serra
"This seminar to me means that I can help change the community for the best and our generation has the power. I loved this experience. I wish everyone could at least witness part of something like this."
