"It was delightful to meet your talented staff and a joy to interact with the outstanding young men that you have recruited and cultivated in your XY-Zone program in Austin. The impact of the XY-Zone on the lives and trajectories of these high school gentlemen was obvious. Their demeanor, confidence, courtesy and insight reflected young men who had received meaningful investments from professional and caring leaders."
Alma L. Golden, MD, F.A.A.P Deputy Assistant Secretary for Population Affairs, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
"The XY-Zone has proven itself to be both innovative and promising, not only as a pregnancy prevention program, but as a program that provides opportunities for young men to increase their developmental assets, build confidence and stay in school. It has been an honor to be involved in the XY-Zone from the very beginning and it has been exciting to see the project take wing, while continuing to produce impressive results."
Peggy B. Smith, Ph.D. Baylor College of Medicine
"I feel that the XY-Zone is important because it helps young men into manhood. Many of these young men are missing fathers in the home. The XY-Zone is a great avenue for young men to turn for help and express their worries and get the support they need."
Octavious Bishop, former NFL Player
"The thing that I like most about the XY-Zone, is that as with most teenagers, searching for who and what we are, through the program you learn how great you are and how great some of the people you associate with are. If you want to be the best, reach within yourself and the sky is the limit."
Lloyd Mitchell Moore, XY-Zone Youth Advisor and Alumni Ambassador
