We found this student poem from  2003 while going through some program archives last week. The YouthBuild Way is timeless!

The YouthBuild Way

by Ebony Booker

The YouthBuild way is helping one another

The YouthBuild Way is showing the students how to keep a positive mind

The YouthBuild way is teaching the students to work with each other.

The YouthBuild way is setting like a goal.

The goal is to get all of the Class of 2003 to graduate.

The YouthBuild way is also helping to make a better place

The YouthBuild way is building houses for low-income people.

The YouthBuild way is teaching the students about the real world.

The YouthBuild way is keeping the students on a successful track.

The YouthBuild way is teamwork and respect.

The YouthBuild way is lifting someone’s spirits.

The YouthBuild way is respecting yourself and others.
