As a proud board member of the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Midlands, I’ve seen firsthand how access to caring mentors, skill-building programs, and safe spaces can transform a teen’s future. Our Clubs do more than keep kids busy after school — we prepare them for life. From career exploration and job-readiness workshops to leadership development and personal growth, we’re helping build the workforce of tomorrow, starting today. Workforce development isn’t just about employment — it’s about opportunity, confidence, and breaking down barriers. I support Midlands Gives because I want to be part of a community that invests in young people and believes in their ability to succeed. Join me in giving teens the tools they need to build brighter futures — and stronger communities for us all.

To enable all young people, especially those who need us the most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring responsible citizens.
