PEOPLE SAY...

YSEF IF has helped me grow as not only just a student, but as a person. I have learned a lot of valuable lessons when it comes to time management, organizing, leading, and more. I am not the person who steps out to lead or steps out of my comfort zone, but because of IF, I have noticed I can be that person.

It is an honor to serve as a volunteer on the board at YSEF. Before joining YSEF, I had absolutely no idea how great the need, nor the immense generosity employed to help remedy it!

My time at IF has taught me many valuable lessons... Our student board members understand that each and every one of them is needed; without everyone’s help, IF would not be as successful as it is...

My position with IF is the Closet Vice President. My favorite part about helping at IF is to see the impact I make on families and to see weights lifted off of their shoulders. IF has helped me see different perspectives and to not always judge a book by its cover.

... The purchase of the models funded by the “Hands on Brains” grant by YSEF engaged current students in active learning and will effectively serve psychology and A & P students well beyond the current year.

I learned so much about leadership and nonprofits ...as IF President. I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to make a difference... As a young alum, I still try to go back to work in the pantry when I'm in town...
