"YDF support is a cornerstone of our youth project.  Seattle Public Theater started its 6th year working with homeless youth with Street Survivors, a week-long intensive workshop and performance.  Both agency and staff and the youth themselves were ecstatic about the project.  Many youth have indicated it was one of the best experiences of their lives.  It clearly had a profound impact on them."

"I think it's cool when someone pays attention to what I can do, instead of everything that's gone wrong."

"YDF has given us the opportunity to take our youth horseback riding, rock climbing , canoeing and many other activities that would never be available in their daily lives.  These activities are important therapeutic tools, helping these youth to work on issues of trust, self-esteem and team-building."
