Save the Wyoming Cowboy ChalleNGe Academy

Without the help from wcca I would have the drive to be a contributing member of society

This is such a good program for youth. It would be a shame to see it cancelled.

This program was fantastic for my granddaughter! Thank you WCCA!

This program helped/saved my grandson! Don't cut this program!!

This program was the best decision I ever made. I learned more there than high school could have with my broken school district. I came back in better shape and with a more level head. I credit WYCP (WCCA) with getting me to where I am today. At 21 I married the most perfect woman out on this planet. At 23 I bought a house in the suburbs with my wife. We are the youngest couple on the block. This program taught me the skills to budget in order to do so. It taught me the discipline to stick to the budget. My leadership skill I acquired there made me a crew lead at Schlumberger within 6 months of being hired. I was in charge of people 3 times my senior that I’d 20+ years in the industry. All because I had skills that the cadre and instructors took the time out of their lives to teach us. My got had the highest numbers and the least amount of incidents. I knew how to keep my crew motivated and running well. If there were mistakes, we took the repercussions as a team. My sisters want their kids to go to that program and have their children learn what I did. Please make that happen. For some of us that is the only way we will see a diploma. If I could go back right now and go through it again I would. I wouldn’t think twice.

My friend's son just graduated from this and I definitely see the difference! If my own son keeps on the track he's on, I truly was keeping this program in the back of my head to be able to send him there when he turns 16. Please don't close this great program!

This Academy was a saving grace for my nephew. Traditional schooling was just not working for him, and this program is an amazing option for so many others who are in the same boat. I'm not sure how Wyoming found itself in such a budgetary shortfall, but don't make kids pay for it.

Worked with these students who helped our Moose Lodge's community Thanksgiving dinner. Well behaved and respectful!

I would sign so many more times just to save this program!

I have 2 kids that graduated here. This program helped them both tremendously

WCCA is a great program and is much needed.

This place saved my life and the way I was going down this missed up life I would’ve died long time ago until I came here and it saved me. So I hope everything goes good and this place can stay open.

While being the Associate VP for Academics at EWC, I was pleased to meet some of the students in the program. I really appreciated their determination to try hard and their manners. Some teenagers need that structure. I highly recommend keeping the program.

WCCA is really a GREAT place! Saved me more than I thought it would! Definitely needed it at the time!

My son went thru this program and it made amazing in his life!!

This is an amazing program for teens at risk my son was one of them. Never completed a task in his life until this program. I pray you do the right thing for those families reign to help their children get and education and some life skills to be a successful adult. The staff has such big hearts and understand the challenges they go through please keep the WCCA open to help the kids that will need it even more now with the pandemic

Keep this open! The program has helped so many youth in the state.

I have seen so much change in young people leaving this program

I am a graduated cadet of the Wyoming cowboy challenge class 35 changed my life for the better

This program has helped countless at risk youth in this state- largely funded by the federal government it should be kept intact
