We just wrapped up the day with Seth Franco at Mullica Township Schools. It was an amazing event for our students and staff! Seth’s message was inspiring to our entire population. We were very fortunate to have a role model like Seth speak to our students about doing your best in life. We are looking forward to having Youth Alliance becoming an annual presenter at Mullica Township Schools.
Have a Great Day,

As the principal of an elementary school in South Jersey, I typically don’t
schedule assemblies but I would schedule Reggie Dabbs again. I was told he was
worth the time and money, and he was! Without a hestitation, I would recommend
him.

I’ve always been impressed with the overall quality of the Youth Alliance’s assembly programs. Each year, our students look forward to your visit and thoroughly enjoy the different motivational speakers you have brought to our school. Seth Franco’s message was inspirational. He actively engaged the audience, and our students really related to him.

I want to thank you for our most motivational assembly we have ever had. Our Principal Dr. Rufino said it was his best in thirty years…….You left an incredible imprint on all our hearts. A parent came to me stating their children talked about the assembly the whole weekend. Pennsgrove-Carenys Point loves you!!!!

The Youth Alliance is a wonderful resource for all schools to assist in addressing the recent HIB legislation that went into effect this school year. Our school had the pleasure of having Vai Sikahema, former Philadelphia Eagle and Channel 10 Sports Director, in to speak with our students and parents. I can tell you that as the Principal of Veterans Memorial School, I believe we are a better, more informed school after the assembly. Vai had an amazing effect on our students and I honestly believe, reached many of our students. We have used The Youth Alliance in the past, and we will continue to in the future. I urge all schools to look into one of their programs…..you won’t be disappointed!

Preston,
Thank you for reaching out to us about hosting the Seth Franco presentation. It was BETTER than we expected. The professional development offered to our teachers was well received and relevant. Seth’s message was wonderful and the students loved it. His basketball tricks had them hooked. It was obvious that Seth is a caring man and we appreciate the time he took after the Family Night Presentation to speak to students and take pictures. Please send our appreciation to Seth and your entire staff – you are very special people who truly care about kids. Thank you!!!

Preston came and spoke at our Senior School Assembly in June of this year. He displayed an outstanding ability to connect with his audience, both students and staff. His presentation was energetic and involving. The stories he shared were challenging and inspirational and done in a humorous and engaging way. Numerous students and staff members shared with me as to how inspiring he was and how they personally felt encouraged and challenged. We would not hesitate to have Preston back to speak with our students were he to be available in the future.

Hi Preston,
My name is Cassie, I go to Kilvington Grammar. You spoke at my school today and I just wanted to let you know that it was so inspiring. I love the way you spoke to us, it got us all involved. I thought it was absolutely amazing, your story and your life. You made me feel like i can accomplish anything. I cannot make it this Friday to the Glen Eira town hall, but thank you so much for speaking to us today. I felt like just giving you a big hug! 
I hope i can hear you speak again some day.
Love from Cassie
Your presenter, Mr. Seth Franco, was engaging, entertaining and provided a very positive message to our fifth grade students. From the moment he arrived displaying his exuberance and great talent, he had the attention of our faculty and students. As an administrator that researches and arranges school assemblies, I determine the quality of the presentation based on two factors- interaction between presenter and audience, and the response following the assembly. I have to say that we are still receiving positive feedback from students, faculty and even parents about Seth’s visit. That alone speaks volumes on the impact he had on our school.
I truly appreciate your efforts and I look forward to working with you in the future.
Yours truly,

Once again The Youth Alliance delivers! On February 7th, 2011, Seth Franco visited our school and put on an outstanding assembly. From the time he walked into the room to the time he left, students were captivated. Seth was interactive with the students as they entered the auditorium creating a fun and comfortable atmosphere. He shared his story of adversity and it really inspired our students. We are so appreciative of The youth alliance staff for bringing another star performance to our school providing a forum for students to hear and learn about issues they are facing each day. The Youth Alliance director was in attendance as usual and never misses an assembly which speaks volumes about his dedication and commitment to the success of the program. There programs are in such high demand, we are already planning for next year’s amazing assembly for the students. Thank you so much Youth Alliance and Seth Franco. Four days later….still a buzz throughout the building. That’s what it is all about.

I don’t know if this is the email I should use to contact you, but I wanted to take a minute to thank you. You’ve been to our school twice now, and after your assemblies, we can feel the change in the mood of the school. You are a massive positive influence. As one Math teacher told me the other day, “You can have more impact on these kids emotionally in 45 minutes than I can all year.” I agree. You came to us the first time last semester, and the night after your assembly, a young man from one of my History classes emailed me out of the blue. He told me he was thinking of killing himself. He said he wanted to talk to someone, and he chose me. The exact words he wrote to me said “I guess You came at a good time, huh?”
I’ve been talking to the young man, and he’s a fine young man. He’s just in a bad situation. He still gets depressed, still thinks of suicide, but he’s working on it. Working hard.
Sometimes I wonder what would’ve happened if you hadn’t come.
I just wanted you to know, on a first hand basis, the impact you’ve had. I think you saved this young man’s life.
Thanks for everything. G Cole

I was personally affected by my experience with Seth. His presence alone brought peace to my heart and inspiration to my soul. His tireless effort touched staff and students as well. The message he brought opened the hearts and minds of many and gave them hope for the future. May he continue to bring light, love, and encouragement to all for many years to come.

In my 15 years as a VPS employee, this was the BEST assembly I have attended! Seth’s message came through loud and clear! From looking at the student’s faces who were sitting near me, they were enthralled! I ‘googled’ him after we returned to class and ALL of the students wanted a copy of his bio and the article I found about his time with the Globetrotters for themselves! His basketball ‘skills’ were very impressive as well.
Thanks for finding him!

Seth Franco was a huge success at Landis Middle School. His story is remarkable and his words seem to captivate the student’s attention and interest. I spoke to each of my classes about the assembly, and 100% of my students loved his message and could actually tell me every detail of his life!! I look forward to having him back next year! Thanks for bringing such inspirational people to our district to help us motivate our youth.
Kim Davila, Teacher
I found the assembly conducted by Mr. Seth Franco to be both moving and motivational. The students were engaged and hanging on his every word. His positive message was clear and delivered with power. He truly understood how to relate to the children of our school, and his profound message was exactly what our students needed to hear. I look forward to seeing Mr. Franco speak at our school in the future. Thank you for making assemblies like this possible for our students to grow from.
Sincerely,
Carl Dolente
Thank-you so much for bring Seth Franco to Rossi School. It was very energetic, upbeat and entertaining for our students. I also believe Seth’s genuine care and concern was clear to see. His story was intesting and moving, but also something the students could connect with. They also loved those ball-handling skills.
Please extend my thanks to him for talking to one of my students. I have been working with him for 2 years and have had little progress. Having that one on one with Seth was very moving for him. I’ve never seen anyone make such an impact.
Thank you again,
Andrea Massaro
I was privileged to attend the recent assembly at Landis School. The speaker was Seth Franco. I LOVED it! He is a fantastic speaker; captivating and humorous. I believe he is worth seeing over and over again. I would recommend this speaker to any organization who was looking for someone to be used to make an impact in the lives of all who hear.
Patrice Guadalupe
I thought that Seth Franco’s presentation was great. He relayed the strong, positive message to our students that in life there will be “valleys” and “mountains” that you will experience, and no matter what, the best thing we can do is to keep moving forward, working hard, making good decisions, and great things will happen for us. Our students need to realize that life is not easy and there will be many challenges faced, just as Seth faced, but they also need to know that out of the tough times comes a newer, stronger, wiser person! I believe, however, that the most important message that he presented to our school was that, what counts most in life is not only reaching those “mountains”, but HELPING OTHERS reach their own “mountains.” I strongly believe that this lesson is one that can change the world for the better. Additionally, the students really enjoyed watching Seth perform his basketball tricks! He was a very passionate and enthusiastic with his speaking as well, so even during his “story telling” the students all were actively listening and paying attention. I feel that many students admired him, for not only his talent, but for who he has become as a person.

Preston Centuolo,
Thank you for scheduling Reggie Dabbs to speak at the Joseph R. Bolger Middle School! As I said upon the completion of the program I have never seen both students and teachers as engaged as they were at Reggie’s presentation, the Bolger Middle School is in the process of establishing a school based on five core values based on respect. Reggie’s message was clear, entertaining, and relevant to the issues faced by young teenagers today.
I have heard many positive and enthusiastic comments from students and teachers in reference to Mr. Dabb’s positive message.
Thank you so much for a great program for our students. I look forward to partnering with “The South Jersey Youth Alliance” in the future. Without question I will recommend and speak highly of your organization and program.
Sincerely,

I have been to many assemblies and this was by far the best one I have ever been to!
Reggie grabbed the student’s attention with his AMAZING humor and they followed him through his INCREDIBLE performance. They rocked out with him through his musical performances and felt his sorrow when he told them his sad stories.
I was extremely honored to be allowed to be a part of his performance. My role as the “white chocolate” made the children laugh hysterically and all day long in the hallways they told me “I got your back!”
I just want to say thank you again for a wonderful performance and I have just one last thing to say to Reggie… “I GOT YOUR BACK!”

Reggie,
I had the pleasure of sitting through your assembly today at Millville High School in Millville, NJ. As a counselor in a school-based services program within the school, I know that our students experience so much pain, sadness, and hurt. Our goal is to reach out to as many students that we can and spread the message of love and family. After hearing you speak today, I felt compelled to reach out to you and thank you for your inspirational and motivational words. I am confident that the students at Millville heard your message and that no one that heard you left that room feeling alone. Thank you again for sharing your story. My committment to you is that I will be sure to do my part to keep spreading your message. I got your back, bro!! God bless you and your family.
TIM CALLAHAN
I can’t thank you and organization enough for providing an inspirational and awe-inspiring presentation to our students and staff. Mr. Dabbs was a passionate and motivational speaker.
As an educator, sometimes we forget about the most important “R” in our three “R’s” – and that is “Relationships”! We tend to drift away from the affective domain in education, not realizing that it is this area that we have to work on more than ever. Your organization and Mr. Dabbs helped remind my staff, students, and myself this.
Please be assured that Mr. Dabbs has left a lasting impression on our school and community.
“You can’t change your past, but you can change your future!” – Mr. Reggie Dabbs.
Thank you again from the bottom of my heart.
Sincerely,

In my opinion, I thought that Mr. Irving Fryar’s presentation was an inspiration to the students. He was able to make a personal connection with them. He conveyed a deep message of having the opportunity to be given a second chance in life. Students as well as teachers make mistakes in life. We need to learn from our mistakes. We need to take the time to reflect on our own lives and decide where we can improve ourselves. I thought Mr. Fryar did an outstanding job relating to our young people. I commend him on his efforts to enlighten our young students.

“The message from Mr. Fryer was not only energetic and compassionate, it made me think of my own life goals and choices I have made and will make for a brighter future.”
STEPHEN PANICHELLI

“It is important for students to hear from professional athletes in a such a personal way. Students now can apply the positive message of working hard, making good choices, and treating others with respect and kindness. They can also understand that it’s never too late to make good choices to start reaping those ‘good consequences’ that Mr. Fryar mentioned.”
DAVID THIES
TEACHER
D’IPPOLITO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Irving Fryar for the meaningful presentation shared with our D’Ippolito students. Bulling and respect for others can be difficult topics for students to discuss and Mr. Fryar’s message was so well received by our students. I am confident that our fourth and fifth graders will remember and apply the lesson they learned today from Mr. Fryar. Your continued caring and dedication to the students of Vineland is to be commended.

Children and teachers are completely engaged the entire time and they hang on his every word. His program is interactive, informative, and inspirational and every child should hear his message. This is our second time in three years Reggie has visited our school and we look forward to many more visits. We thank The South Jersey Youth Alliance for bringing Reggie to our school.

Thank you for once again providing the Reggie Daabs presentation for our high school students. Each year Reggie provides a reflective insight and thought provoking message. Our students were attentive and interested. Placing nearly 1500 students in one gymnasium is always a challenge. Reggie made the day a huge success. I believe his message will allow many students to make meaningful, positive changes in their lives. Again, thank you on behalf of our students and faculty for your efforts.

The South Jersey Youth Alliance is a wonderful organization dedicated to helping the youth of our community. As the principal of Petway Elementary School, I have found the programs to be engaging, dynamic and have delivered an important message to all our Petway Patriots.

In addition, The South Jersey Youth Alliance has given the students of Millville many positive experiences through assemblies and guest speakers.

The South Jersey Youth Alliance is a wonderful organization that helps children. I am a guidance counselor in Vineland, and I work with the most at risk students in the district. Our school is called Second Chance. It gives students another opportunity to correct their behavior, so they can return to the regular high school. We are so lucky to have you support us. You have brought in many speakers some from around the world. They shared their life stories and experiences. They have enlightened our students to what can happen if you make the right choices in life. When The South Jersey Youth Alliance brought the lunch buffet for our students forboth Thanksgiving and Christmas, it showed our students that people do care about them. We our lucky to have The South Jersey Youth Alliance be a part of our school. Thank you for all you do! It is most appreciated.

The South Jersey Youth Alliance has been very instrumental in positively influencing the lives of young adults in Vineland and the entire Cumberland County area. During my tenure as the Principal of Vineland High South I had the privilege to work and in hand with the Alliance who provided our students with an array of programs and guests speakers performing and lecturing on topics ranging form positive thinking to learning how to make the right decisions for a productive life. We were extremely fortunate that the Alliance introduced our students to the nationally renowned motivational speaker, Reggie Dabbs, who visited our school many times and who had a profound influence on our students.
The South Jersey Youth Alliance is one of those unique organizations that are committed to providing guidance and direction to the youth of our area. I have enjoyed our relationship and consider their members some of most dedicated individuals with which I have ever had the privilege to be associated. In our community and in our area this organization is admired and respected as an organization of impeccable character that truly and sincerely strives to improve the lives of young adults.

I would like to formally thank you again for the marvelous performance given by The South Jersey Youth Alliance Family. My children were enamored by the talent and charisma of the performers. My Staff is still laughing at their own performance. We were pleased, entertained, excited and just plain happy to have an important message delivered with enthusiasm and talent.
May all of you have a joyous holiday and continue to bring your inspirational message as far as possible in the coming year. God Bless.
