“I benefited from Youth Development Foundation of Port Aransas Programs, specifically Natural Helpers/Rainbow Leaders Retreat as both a student and retreat counselor. I was able to learn effective planning, increased empathetic understating, and how to work on a productive team. I have also received YDF scholarship funds that have enabled me to progress in my schooling.”

It was a safe place to explore insecurities, accept our differences and make important connections. I wish I had attended it every year! I was a recipient of a generous scholarship from YDF. My family and I are extremely grateful for their investment in my future.”
