Take a look what they have to say about Youth4Youth!
In classes and in the hallways you can see more students doing things to help each other. More importantly, the students are conscious of each other and of everyone’s need to belong, to be respected, and to be listened to. - Scott Pecze - Teacher/Advisor - Amherst Junior High

Secret of the Can
Most people get distracted by the drama and the garbage of
life. Knowing "The Secret of the Can" gives you the freedom to
pursue your dreams and direction in life.
Give your students this fast paced one-hour session with
author and Youth4Youth founder, Larry Tracey and his “garbage can.” During an hour that has been described
as practical and down-to-earth, giving students a visual that will last a lifetime.
Larry shares tools that have helped thousands of teens and adults avoid wandering down the road of personal destruction by sending them on a journey of personal construction.
Address bullying issues from all sides, as you discover the four types of people and their role in the bullying process. Empower victims and by-standers.
Larry uses humor, personal experiences and audience interaction, which helps students and staff understand how to apply these principles to their daily lives. “Understanding the secret is the most life-changing event one can experience. No longer are you distracted by the garbage of life but you are now free to pursue your dreams and direction in life.”
Includes book signing and interaction students and staff.

failing in school, & suspended…suspended…suspended. He states, “Youth4Youth is the reason I’m still in school…it changed my life!”
Marcus
Marcus was mundane and shy. His guidance counselor suggested Marcus join Youth4Youth. He began to develop leadership skills and as a result was selected to go to Washington, DC, as a student ambassador. While there he met Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice, who was so impressed with him that she called Marcus when he returned home and offered him financial support to pursue a career in History or Politics.
