“My name is Quint, and I want to tell a little about what Youth First has done for me. When I was in high school at Reitz Memorial, I worked with a Youth First Social Worker who taught me coping skills to manage time, anger, stress, and anxiety. That social worker and Youth First collectively guided me through my young adulthood, and now I am succeeding.

With those learned skills, I was able to graduate college and I am now working as an IT professional. I currently work as a consultant for a global information technology company.

The Youth First Social Worker also introduced me to using music as an outlet to cope with my problems. I am still making music and am well known for my music here in Evansville. I am starting to gather followers that believe in my music, as I believed it would help get me out of dark places.

I appreciate what Youth First has done for me and so many others! I believe it will continue to grow and help those who need it. I am proud to be a part of this organization and will look forward to it growing even more.”
