"Youth at Risk sets out to show young people that they are worth something; that in one way or another they are capable of achievement that deserves and earns the respect of others. This discovery by youths who have never felt that they were valued by anyone literally changes their lives. It gives them self-respect. Those who do not respect themselves have no respect for others. They are at risk, and so are those around them. Youth at Risk is an inspiration to them and has been an inspiration to me. That is why I have been delighted to join their Advisory Board"
