What our Students, Parents, & Community Leaders Say... Dan Moser, Principal, Yerba Buena High School: "For 4 years, CCPY has done everything they promised they would do for us, and more. I calculate that they've contributed some 20,000 volunteer hours per year to our most troubled families. The impact is astounding. Watching the families attend the CCPY sessions has been eye opening. Families readily admit that their children are drifting into situations that are dangerous and unhealthy. They admit they don't know what to do - or where to turn. Families connecting with CCPY, for the first time, see hope for themselves and their children. Seeing those same families as their teens begin to take responsibility and succeed is one of the reasons I'm an Educator" Bianca Y., Parent: "This program saves lives." Kelly B., Parent: "My daughter was struggling before CCPY. School counselors recommended this program. Now she¹s decided she will go to a four year college. She´s set a goal of a "B" average, and is meeting her goal with each report card. She has blossomed so much in just one year!" Bryan B., CCPY Graduate: "Man I can tell you how thank-full I am for you guys, and the whole CPY program. I can honestly tell you if it wasn¹t for CPY I would most likely be dead now because of the gangs and things I was involved with. CPY was the greatest thing I think that has ever happened to me in my life time. I now am going to Community College for 2 terms and next year I will be attending Western Oregon University to become a Police Officer. I just wanted to thank you, thank you for your insperation, your laughter, your kindness, your gentleness, and caring for someone who once did not give a dam about you or any one else in this world. THANK YOU." Dick De La Rosa, Former Gang Task Force Coordinator: "In my 26 years with San Jose´s Mayor Office, I have evaluated many youth programs and have found CCPY to be among the most predictably effective. Without the CCPY program, troubled youth at Yerba Buena, one of our most challenged San Jose high schools, face a lifetime of limited opportunity. Their probable future looks like under-employment, welfare, prison or early death. I´ve seen this program guide these teens to decide to lead responsible, self-directed lives, and contribute to the greater community. Please reach out to support this valuable community resource."
