ID

When asked about his skills at the beginning of the year, ID responded “I am not a leader.”
ID did not believe that he had the qualities to ever be a strong leader, but it was one of his goals to improve his confidence and leadership ability. CCPY staff and mentors believed in ID's ability and supported him in his goals and there has been quite a transformation. ID is a leader and role model amongst him peers. While staff was meeting regarding summer plans for CCPY, ID joined the table with us to provide his opinion and ideas for the summer planning. In addition, ID volunteered to be a tutor to other youth that are struggling with Algebra, like he once had. ID now sees himself as a leader and is one of the most influential youth in CCPY.
