Marshawn's Potential

Y-CAP is a youth program that takes kids going in the wrong direction and helps them get back on track again. Recommended by family or schools, the children are placed in a welcoming, positive environment where they learn coping skills, learning skills and how to get and give respect. Y-CAP staff has an open line of communication with kids’ teachers and also work with the families to make sure each child is growing and developing into productive members of our community and becoming tomorrow’s leaders.

Marshawn is one of the kids who are learning to make more of themselves and their opportunities through Y-CAP.

“Marshawn is energetic—full of life. He has fantastic leadership potential and is just a very charming kid. Because he’s dynamic and very likeable, he has the personality that makes other kids want to be around him. So he has a lot of potential—to harness that power for good because other kids want to do what he does. We’re here to help kids like him realize their potential and get the most out of life.”—Shana Bateman, Y-CAP
