Meet Jamerica: Youth of the Year for A. Worley Brown Boys & Girls Club

Club membership: Joined in 2022

Post-Secondary/Career Interest: Attend college to become an elementary school math teacher.

How has your Club supported your goals for college, post-secondary education, and career? They provide me a safe space, and support my ideas while also making sure I feel safe.

Why is it important for the youth to use their voice in today’s society? Everyone should be heard whether it’s a recommendation or a problem they are having with someone or something going on.

Short Bio: Jamerica is a 17-year-old senior who credits the Club with helping her establish a sense of self and supporting her to be more open to new experiences.
