"RYLA created friendships. It created leaders. For this and the invaluable experiences, I thank you. Your kindness shall be carried with me forever."
--Christian Pettersen, Cottonwood, AZ.
"Y'all touched me. My life is very negative at home and y'all made more of a difference in my life than you'll ever know!!"
-- Christina
"I honestly can say I'm a better person now because of this crazy and life changing experience!"
"Before I came I felt unsure about my dreams and afterward I feel that whatever I do, I will succeed."
"I learned to push myself and be more positive."
"It help me understand that even though we live in different places, we are all the same."
"Before (RYLA) I was lost. Nothing nor no one mattered. I'm changed, and now I'm a leader. I chose my road!"
"Thank you for the best three days of my life!"
