Youth of the Month 
Naidely has been a Club kid for a very long time. She will tell anyone who is willing to listen about how the Club has shaped her into a strong leader. The Club gives Naidely a space where she can focus on herself and her own successes. She has expressed before that the Club has helped her with her studies and has given her a place where she can truly express herself

Naidely is a leader within our Club. She is part of the Keystone group and has been extremely helpful with their fundraising efforts this summer. Naidely is someone you can trust to uphold the rules and mission of the Club and help to hold others accountable. She is a walking billboard for the Club and will speak its praises to anyone who will listen.

Naidely stated "The Club has helped me understand the meaning of support and success. They have helped me feel safer and more loved, they understand the things we go through and try to find ways to help us overcome the fears we hide away from others. They create a space for you to open up without being afraid. They give you opportunities to make your life better and get an education to gain the future you want. They showed me how to be strong and confident.”
