TESTIMONIALS
"My experience as an ambassador has been very fun and educational. As an ambassador I’m able to be more hands on in my community and I’m able to learn about valuable skills that will help me as I grow as a person and as I go to work outside this company." - Jaleyah Valentine
"What is like being an ambassador of RUUL is that I have a voice, When I started, I was really quiet but now I’m really talkative. They made me feel like family. I’ve been with Mr. Geno since the summer of 2023 and when they brought me in as an ambassador, I was surprised I was honored, and I was proud of myself. It is a pleasure to work with Mr. Geno and his staff and my fellow ambassadors." - Tayonna Rush
“It’s so many pros like making connections, understanding leadership and gaining life skills and meeting new people it takes us out of our comfort zone!” - Daylan "DJ" Jones

"I really enjoy working with Remember Us Urban Legends and there's many reasons why. When my mom first found the organization I joined the braiding program and it was awesome. The summer program provides a really great learning experience in braiding and also landscaping and it gives kids an opportunity to to work together. It keeps youth out of trouble, and also provides skills that you can use to make your own money and soon start your own business. As an ambassador, I love planning and hosting events and just giving to the community. RUUL is like a family and they support you all the way. I have gained the skills of leadership, ownership, speech and integrity and really thank everyone in this program for having me. Also as a teen single mom still in school, not having a really good schedule to get an outside job; RUUL provides stipends that really help me support my child." - Jaylin Shine
