In the video above, you’ll hear from Andrew, a 16-year-old from Făgăraș, Romania, as he shares his YouthBank story. At just 14, Andrew applied to YouthBank without knowing much about it, but what followed was a life-changing experience.
Andrew explains how YouthBank helped him break out of his shell. Initially shy and nervous, he attended his first meeting feeling out of place. But soon, he discovered that YouthBank is a different kind of environment—one where young people are encouraged to share their opinions and develop leadership skills.
Andrew’s story is particularly compelling because, due to the pandemic, his team was much smaller than usual. However, this tight-knit group allowed him to learn quickly and build strong connections. He credits YouthBank with helping him become more confident, not only in his social life but also in his ability to speak publicly and volunteer in his community.
If you’ve ever wondered how a program like YouthBank could impact your life, Andrew’s story will inspire you!
