Kelvin’s unique experience of serving youth of all backgrounds and ethnicities spans from his college years as a volunteer mentor for an inner-city afterschool program in Pittsburgh. The vision of serving youth of all backgrounds and ethnicities including those that come from disadvantaged circumstances is what connected Kelvin to joining “The Movement” in 2011. Kelvin is passionate about helping young people reach their full potential and equipping teams to selflessly serve this mission. Kelvin is also an effective public speaker who collaborates with organizations such as, Orange County Government Citizens’ Commission for Children, Orange County Public Schools, and the YMCA on projects, youth initiatives, and national leadership conferences. Lastly, and most importantly, Kelvin is a family man.

• Favorite Boys & Girls Club Program: BGCCF After School Zone Mentorship Programs supporting our Passport to Manhood and S.M.A.R.T Girls Initiatives. 
• Joined the Movement: 2011
• Personal Goal this Year: To increase our parent involvement enrichment opportunities for our Middle School Clubs. 
• Coolest thing I’ve witnessed since starting: I know that many teenagers experience different problems and uncertainty during their middle school years. Youth are often bullied and have a hard time fitting in among their peers.  In today’s society, there is an epidemic of juvenile delinquency, teenage drug abuse, and other risky behaviors plaguing our youth. The coolest thing that I have seen is how our BGCCF Family provides a safe and enriching place for all of our Club members to escape the pressures of life and learn viable skills to become productive members of society. It’s so cool to see how our staff and volunteers provide unconditional love, support, and real guidance each day. In fact, the coolest part for me is seeing the outcomes of our Club members developing great character and leadership. It is truly an honor leading teams that help our children receive a road map for success, daily encouragement, and inspiration to overcome the obstacles and challenges of life as they pursue their dreams! If that isn’t cool, I don’t know what is!
