We, YouthBuild trainees, will stand tall for who we are and for what we do for our families and children.
We are here today to better ourselves and further our education.
We take responsibility for our future.
Standing together as a family, through sacrifice and determination, we make a commitment to help the less fortunate and to make our community a safer place.
We will always take advantage of our second chance because it may be our last.
We know the journey will be hard but we will endure.
