Telephone Script- Call and/or Email Today!
"Hello. My name is _________ and I am a (student at YouthBuild, staff member, graduate alumni, friend, of YouthBuild) at (YouthBuild Program/ Agency) in (City/Town), Massachusetts."
                         1.  YouthBuild is proven program that works with high school drop outs and disengaged youth in the state...just like me.
                         2.  Sample message: "Youth need programs like YouthBuild in order to get our GEDS and learn necessary skills to be prepared to work. Keep families                                    and our staff working."
                         3. Please share my message with the Governor (or legislator). Thank you for  your time
