Meet Jaden: Youth of the Year for Matthews Boys & Girls Boys & Girls Club

Jaden

Club membership: 2012

Post-Secondary/Career Interest: I plan to attend the illustrious Howard University and study Political Science. “My end goal is to become an attorney and work in the nation’s Capitol as a policymaker. I want to positively impact the world by providing support to those who feel unheard and make great changes that will benefit the masses.”

What does the phrase masterpiece in the making mean to you? “A masterpiece in the making is a perfect phrase to describe who I am. I am constantly growing and improving in all areas of my life.”

Why is it important for kids to use their voice? It is imperative that the youth use their voice because we offer a different perspective with creative ideas but are not always given a platform to express these views.
