Dick De La Rosa, Former Gang Task Force Coordinator:
"In my 26 years in Education and 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."
