2021 Impact Report- Summer

Jaymond is one of those youth who really demonstrates the formative power of the member experience at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Napa Valley. As a foster youth, Jaymond had been yet again thrown into new environment. That’s a daunting task for anyone but as a 7th grader, he really struggled to find his place. But with guidance and encouragement he became more confident, and is now one of our most ardent and inclusive members. Recently recognized as a Member of the Month in our Teen Center, he’s worked hard to be successful. This summer he discovered his passion for cooking and has shared that he wants to be a Chef when he finishes his education. Whatever he ends up doing, we are happy to be a part of his journey and to have played a role in his continued successes.
