Testimonials

My Experience with Coachella Valley Youth Leadership and their program Joven Noble it's been a significant impact in my life by guiding me to make better choices, such as selecting positive and supportive friends to surround myself with. Before joining the program, I was completely a different person, often making impulsive decisions and lacking guidance. Thanks to the program's mentorship and support, I have grown into the individual I am today, more confident, responsible, and mindful of my actions.

Coachella Valley Youth Leadership truly transformed my life. As a 15-year-old boy who has been in the streets in the community of Mecca and hanging around with the wrong crowd, I felt lost and unsure of myself. When I first talked to Mr. Ortega at the Boy's & Girl's Club, I felt something completely new, peace and safety. I felt welcoming and cared for, I remember the mentor showing me that he genuinely cared, and that made a big difference. At that time, I had trouble loving and caring for myself. The program Joven Noble directed by AJ Reys and Mr. Ortega has helped me understand to see the potential I have even when the people you love puts you down. Now I have friends expect for me to succeed and have a better relationship with my mother. I also have learned to prioritize my education. I went from having all Fs in my classes to picking them up to C's and D's all do to the guidance of my mentors.
