Vicktory Life is the type of program that we need in our world today. We need this in our world today, because it encourages community, commitment, and a productive place for youth to learn, develop, grow, and have positive influences/mentors. Working with Dwight Vick has been an amazing experience for me as a volunteer. I am honored to be able to watch Mr. Vick to live in his passion of helping students, but more specifically young students that have a desire to be, or currently are athletes. He makes an effort to help these students not only be successful as athletes, but as college students. He stresses the importance that every athlete also needs education and a back -up career plan. I have never seen anyone put in so much faith, love, commitment, and time into the lives of the youth. Mr. Vick is by far an excellent speaker, and excellent role model, family man, and mentor. What sets his program apart is the consistency of the volunteers, training, topics, and commitment to individual student success. Mr. Vick has NEVER let limited resources or finances stop him from delivering high quality programs. He just knows the right network of people that are always willing to bring a specialized program or topic to the students. These topics include professional dress, life skills, financial management, and communication skills for example. For Mr. Vick, it is more than about how to train hard as an athlete, but to be holistic human beings that recognize that there are people in this world committed to trying their best to be a positive contribution to the world vs. a burden. I will continue to volunteer to support this program as long as it is around because it is a cause that contributes to today’s youth, which in turn, has a positive impact on our communities and our world. Congratulations to Dwight Vick for many years of commitment to youth.
