"Knowing that the youth business earns almost 50% of what it takes to run More Than Words changes how you think about it. It makes me realize that what I do here actually does matter. Being a youth on the job isn’t a small thing. If the youth don’t show up and the youth don’t put in work, then the social enterprise fails and the mission doesn’t get met."
