Youth of the Month  


The Club has helped Kendra become more open to learning and communicating with others. She enjoys sharing knowledge with teens and staff about current events, pop culture, and social and political topics that are meaningful to her. While Kendra has sometimes struggled with being very direct in conversations, she has shown noticeable growth in her communication skills and emotional maturity. Through her experiences at the Club, she has learned how to express herself more effectively while continuing to be confident and authentic.


Kendra demonstrates strong character and commitment through her consistent involvement and willingness to serve others. Although she attends a different school, she remains dedicated to participating in Club activities. She volunteers for community service projects, including recording videos and interviewing members for the Great Futures and Beyond Dinner. She has also participated in Outdoor Equity activities, helping with Earth Day projects by painting and potting plants while assisting staff in creating a welcoming and meaningful event. Her willingness to contribute and support both peers and staff reflects her leadership and service-minded attitude.


Kendra stated "I plan to make the world a better place by helping protect the environment and raising awareness about pollution and global warming."
