United Way of Long Island recently played host to Philadelphia Eagles Linebacker and former NY Giants team member Emmanuel Acho. Acho spoke with heart and inspiration to our YouthBuild Long Island students, along with our staff, and volunteers.
He also joined us in launching YouthBuild’s “Switching Gears” Program funded by the Island Outreach Foundation. This car ownership program is offered to eligible YouthBuild graduates who meet a specific criteria and work with YouthBuild staff to lay out a long term plan to care for the car physically and financially. Acho presented the program’s first participant with the keys to her car.
