RYAM Fernandina marked a proud milestone this May, celebrating the graduation of seven Yulee High School seniors who have been part of the Big Brothers Big Sisters Beyond School Walls program for the past three years.
Each month, the students — affectionately known as our “littles” — visited our plant to meet with their professional mentors and share a meal, building meaningful relationships that extended beyond the classroom. Their hard work and perseverance have paid off: all seven are now graduating, with most heading to college or trade school this fall.
RYAM Fernandina was the first company in Nassau County to partner with Big Brothers Big Sisters through this innovative program, reflecting our ongoing commitment to invest in the next generation of leaders. We honored the graduates with a special awards ceremony, complete with certificates, heartfelt applause, and, fittingly, cake.
Congratulations to our graduates — the future is yours, and it’s full of promise.
