Leo and Rodrigo are two outgoing middle school students with good grades and a plan for their futures. But, these brothers haven’t always had it all figured out.

Many years ago they came to the Y barely able to speak English and too shy to participate in activities or speak up in class. YMCA programs funded by We Build People provided Leo and Rodrigo support in and out of the classroom.

When asked about what they think of the Y, “It’s another home,” answers Leo.

Watch Leo and Rodrigo share their Y journey and feel the impact We Build People has on children and families every day across the Triangle. Your gift will change lives.
