Quotes from parents:

"Theresa was very withdrawn and isolated about sharing her thoughts and how she is feeling.  E CITY has put a bright young woman around other bright peers and given them opportunities to grow.  Her smile, her mind and her dreams have opened wide."

"This program has brought Sade out of her shell.  It has her doing things and asserting herself in such a positive, proud way."

"It was a wonderful opportunity for my son to develop skills that he could not have learned in traditional school.  This should definitely be part of the regular school curriculum."

"This was a great opportunity.  A wonderful program to broaden a child's mind.  It allows them to get involved with the real world before having to do it for real."

"My child's drive to succeed has definitely increased.  Sometimes he would have an attitude of defeat when things did not go the way he planned.  I no longer see this in him.  He now has the attitude of overcoming the challenges."

"I would recommend this program.  It gives students a sense of ownership of their ideas, dreams, visions and aspirations.  I've noticed that my daughter is more goal-oriented and career minded than she was in May."

"This is the first time I have seen her so enthusiastic energetic, excited and genuinely looking forward to going to class each day.  She spoke highly of the instructors and would often relay information she was taught by one of the instructors."

"She speaks about how she is now interest in opening a business and making an impact on her community.  I feel her involvement has been very positive; it opened her eyes to a lot of new opportunities.  She has become more outspoken.  She is looking more into her future and exploring long term goals."

"He says it is so much fun!  Also, he is amazed how much he learned in a short period of time.  It's a great investment.  It's a positive character development program." 

"This program definitely helps define thoughts and interest.  It encourages free thinking and ideas.  My son is more focused, mature, reserved, and goal-oriented now."

"Jasmine is enthusiastic about something for once in her life.  She is starting to understand that with the right attitude, you can accomplish many things, along with had work.  She sees that there are other students in the program who are dealing with some of the same issues she is."
