This inspiring talk at our February meeting by Terry Routley and Charles Whitehouse, representatives from the Youth Automotive Training Center (YATC) explained how this local organization is empowering young people, ages 16-21, through hands-on automotive training, academic support, and life skills development.

Terry and Charles along with our own member, Sabastino Traina, who is a student there, shared insights into YATC’s mission and the positive impact this organization has on young adults in our community. We learned how they equip students with valuable skills and knowledge, preparing them for successful careers and fulfilling lives.

This was a unique opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of YATC’s work and the potential it holds for shaping the future of their students. We were inspired and learned how this organization gives personalized attention to help develop vital life skills, academic skills, automotive skills and a promosing future to to local youth.
