Letter From the Director

 

When Victory For Youth was conceived 13 years ago, we saw the difficulties our youth and there families were having and the amount of resources that were available but unknown to them. With little more than a vision, we initiated a path of reaching out to over 260 agencies, organizations and corporate sponsors in order to create a coalition that would bring HOPE and opportunities to these kids and their families.

Now We can comfortably say almost 13 years later, that TOGETHER we have created an unprecedented program. The formula for this success is the ability of organizations, corporate sponsors, clients, volunteers to actively participate in Victory For Youth. Thank you for believing in this vision!

It is my pleasure to inform you that we are preparing for Victory For Youth our newest Program Job Placement Program for the disadvantage population thru our Printing Services and job training programs with our clients.

The following is a brief recap of the last 13 years' outreach results:

 

….and this is just the tip of the iceberg… for instance, research conducted by Miami-Dade County Dept. of Health indicates that a pregnant female anywhere between the ages of 10-19 costs our taxpayers $ 3,400.00 per year for health services! Thanks to Victory Day, 477 youth have willingly signed the "Abstinence Contract". Remarkably, this automatically translates into $139,740.00 savings for our County. All these accomplishments have been possible through the collaboration of all state and local agencies, sponsors and volunteers making it a true victory for our community.
