WHAT YOUTH SAY ABOUT US:
TESTIMONIAL:
"I have found joining my school's Young Vinnies has opened me up to endless possibilities and provided me with connections that I could not have made by myself. Furthermore, joining Yough Vinnies united me with other members of my school who are incredible young people with very strong and passionate ideas that I doubt I would not have had had I not become involved. I could not talk more highly of Young Vinnies and recommend all students to join one at their school!"
