"Everything I do revolves around the values gained from the YMUW. Today, my life is about what I can do for others. I have helped produce six Weekends and mentor young men daily."
Nick B. – YMUW Graduate
“I have learned what it means to be a balanced young man who contributes to society and how to keep learning to expand my world. Thank you YMUW and the men that give their time to it!”
Ryan A. – YMUW Graduate
“I liked the way the YMUW encouraged me to work together in groups with other young men; I liked the feedback on Sunday morning about how to take the lessons we learned back into our lives. I learned to speak up and use my voice and stand up for myself. This experience pushed me in every aspect”.
Dane S - YMUW Graduate
"At the YMUW, I liked making friends and bonding with them. The obstacle course was cool. I dreaded going to it and I ended up having more fun than I thought I would”.
SJG - YMUW Graduate
“My 21 year-old son did the Weekend when he was 16 and it changed his life. He now has and honors a family of his own.”
Lori Murray
Mostly what I sensed was a lightness of heart, as though a weight had been lifted from him.I wanted to say thank you. There is a great need for your work and effort.”
Suzanne Patrikus
“My teen son was verbally aggressive, giving me the finger and thinking he did not have to do anything he didn’t want to. This behavior has largely disappeared, being replaced with cooperation and increasing personal responsibility. He has become open and caring.”
Alla Wood
“My son, Erik, is now 21 and proudly serving in the USAF - a confident, articulate, young man. Our whole family benefited from Erik's experience. I recommend YMUW to any young man who is entering manhood with uncertainty, apathy and fear about his future. The YMUW can help him determine his own compass for an Ultimate life!”
