success stories

"When I left at 13 I just was in the streets just stealin', shootin', got in a gang ... and I just started losing everybody - one by one. I ain't gonna lie, it was a lot of hurt. I had to go through a lot of pain, a lot of struggle ... When I got to JIFF, I promise my life got way, way, way better. Coach D, he pushed for me, like when I was at my lowest point, when I was ready to give up, didn't care about nothing no more, he always told me I can't give up. You got too much going, You can't give up ... Now I want to help others, just like everybody helping me."      - Albert
