I am truly honored to have the privilege of writing this letter of support in favor of the National Teen Leadership Program (NTLP). It was through a desire to involve my 15 year old child in a summer volunteering experience that we connected with Ms. Derlin Hsu and the organization. I can tell you that my child, Kyiah Wright, profited tremendously and gained a life-changing experience during the time spent volunteering and at the 2018 Summer Camp at Chapman University. In a separate testimonial, Kyiah spells out just how profoundly the program impacted her life personally. Although we have only known each other for the past few months, it feels as though we have had a longer standing bond. Ms. Hsu has been a delight to interact with from the very start. She is the perfect person for the role of directing NTLP into the frontiers of the future. Derlin has a strong understanding about how the program has impacted the lives of young people, many of whom have maintained close ties as alumni and who return to give back by mentoring incoming participants. For that reason, I feel very confident that Ms. Hsu’s leadership can take the organization to the next level. NTLP is an amazing and well needed program for youth as it embodies the virtues of leadership characteristics that are well needed in society today. - Dalys Wright, MPH
