He worked on the O' Henry Museum refurbishment project through the Historical Society and has stayed on with them even after it's completion. • Kieron Gamboa is working with Dalrymple Gravel & Contracting on a project at ABIA. Below is a note sent to American YouthWorks by Kieron’s Mother: Kieron has done a complete 360 since our last email and we know that the employment leads (to Dalrymple Gravel & Contracting) that you and Allison provided him made all the difference in the world! He is now focused and much happier. Not to mention, he really enjoys the construction job at the airport and attendance is good! We stuck by his side when times were dark and reminded him that this was temporary and knew that some sort of employment where he could share his expertise would make such a difference in his life and now he’s there. Words can’t express how much appreciation we have for all that you do and what Youthworks does to encourage, strengthen, and empower our young people! 12 Program Overview • Enhanced Data Collection • Outreach Initiatives • Recognition Programs 13 Thank you for the privilege of your time.
