DENVER — In taking on most of life's challenges, there's a comfort in knowing that others have succeeded and that people don't have to go through them alone. That's the theme behind the YESS (Youth Empowerment Support Services) Institute, a peer mentoring program that works with Denver Public Schools to help disengaged students find academic success through relationships and tutoring with fellow students.
That theme is also something Broncos offensive lineman Max Garcia can relate to, as he mentioned during his speech at the institute's awards banquet at Sports Authority Field at Mile High Wednesday evening.
