About this Program
This program is the culmination of 30 years experience in public speaking, mostly to grade school children ages 8 through 17. Although there is no single approach to dealing with all children, Ray has put together a program that highlights his most successful methods and techniques -tempered with the problems that threaten our youth today. It is indeed a reflection of Ray’s passion for the health and wellbeing of these next generations. Far too often our children are like lambs without a shepherd. In many cases some of our children have been left to wander without guidance or supervision. As with the wandering and scattered lamb wolf are waiting. If they manage to escape at all, they are likely to be maimed, wounded, or scarred for life.
At “Yes I Can” our goal is to find those children before it’s too late. Where ever they may be- on the street corner- in the school yard- near the church house or the crack house. There is no place that the Y.I.C. team will not venture to reach a young person at risk. Moreover, let us not overlook those young people who are trying hard to resist the evils of today. Some of whom are trying desperately to function in a dysfunctional environment.
These young people should be applauded for their diligence. They too need guidance and encouragement.
The seasoned professionals at YIC work tirelessly in our common vigilance to be a force for positive change in an ever volatile climate of moral deficiency. Our tested methods are proven to have long term influence on even the most troubled youth.
At “Yes I Can” we are convinced that no child is beyond reach. We welcome the opportunity to prove it.
Motivating, Educating, Empowering the leaders of tomorrow. This is our cause- this is our mission
