"We are thrilled to be able to partner with Excelsior Youth Center and provide employment opportunities for some of their youth. Hiring Carin has benefited our organization greatly and has allowed us to give something back to the community which has been so gracious to support our growing business. Although outsiders might look at our employment practice as somewhat of a risk situation, I remind myself daily where we would be as a company if nobody had taken a chance on us. From the Mayor’s Office of Economic Development to every one of our vendors and clients all have taken a risk of their own by entrusting us with their business. Much like those relationships, our relationship with Excelsior Youth Center and Carin is now and will continue to be a successful one." —Jeff Nadeau, Co-Owner of Power Imaging

Two years ago, they committed to adding the Excelsior Youth Center as one of the organizations that employees embrace in order to make a difference in their community. From assisting in the clothing store to mentoring individuals, Xanterra employees strive to extend a helping hand of friendship to the deserving girls of Excelsior. All it took was for one girl to come and tell us her story and we knew we wanted to ge a part of what Excelsior does for these girls."
