LINC's Success Story: YAMEAN

In Sacramento, California, Crossroads Employment Services, and E.L. Hickey Junior/High School partnered to create the YAMEAN Project (Youth Actively Mastering Each Achievement Now!). Students at E.L. Hickey deal with tough urban challenges. YAMEAN helped 14 of those students, with and without disabilities, become leaders. YAMEAN students learned art fundamentals and acquired leadership skills.
