I have worked with BTSYA for about six years now. What started as casual charity work I was required to do, turned into MANY amazing experiences that I am so thankful for. I have done book reviews and event planning for BTSYA. I even got the opportunity to be published in Cynthia Brian's book, Be The Star You Are For Teens and to be interviewed about it on a local station. As a Journalism major now in college, I am so grateful I got to do those things. While in college I work with BTSYA by contributing to its radio station, Express Yourself.
BTSYA has given me some great opportunities, but also created my love for public speaking, writing, organizing events, and helping others. I would not be where I am today without it.
Best non-profit ever!!!!!

I have worked for BTSYA since I was 13. Now, I am 19 and am still completely involved. BTSYA has given me so many opportunities, including becoming a published author and co-host of a local radio show. I am so grateful for Cynthia Brian, the founder of BTSYA, and BTSYA itself for all the opportunities and experiences that have shaped me into the all around leveled person I am today.
