We knew his presentation style and messaging would be an ideal fit for our program and he exceeded our expectations by really relating to his audience. He was able to tailor his content to our students and spoke from the heart through real-world experiences, which allowed him to truly connect with the young adults in our program. Our staff and students repeatedly share with me how much they enjoyed his speech and the immediate impact it has had on them. Since his first speaking engagement, we’ve invite Israel back to speak to every class of young adults that comes to Year Up Chicago. If I had to describe Israel’s presentation in a few words, He is absolutely inspiring, engaging, and relatable.
