"As a parent, you always worry about whether your child will be able to survive out there on their own. When my son started at Life Skills University, I thought it would just be another standard class. Instead, I saw him completely change his daily habits. He started talking to me about high-yield savings, tracking his expenses on an app, and preparing his own meals to save money. Y.E.S. gave my son the maturity and independence that I was struggling to teach him alone. I am incredibly grateful."

"We partner with several community groups, but working with Y.E.S. has been an exceptionally rewarding experience for our branch team. When we host financial literacy workshops for these young adults, they aren't just passive listeners—they are highly engaged, asking sharp questions about credit optimization, checking account logic, and small business building blocks. El Simpson has built a highly effective bridge between local financial institutions and urban youth who truly want to build wealth."

"Volunteering as a mock interviewer and career mentor with Y.E.S. has shown me how hungry these young adults are for real-world opportunities. The curriculum doesn't sugarcoat anything; it gives them raw, honest truth about what it takes to succeed on the modern economic grid. Seeing a student walk in nervous on day one and walk out weeks later with a polished resume, a firm handshake, and total confidence is proof that this system works flawlessly."
