Straight Outta Charlestown:
Turn it Around Youth of the Month
|
Stanley Williams has been chosen as our July Turn it Around Youth of the Month. Since joining Turn it Around this past winter, Stanley has consistently impressed our entire team with his determination and goal-oriented attitude. Whether it be passing his permit test, or dealing with the long process of getting a summer job, Stanley has accomplished it all without complaint. As he continues to work towards his longer term goals, we're so excited to see where Stanley goes from here!
--Olivia Larkin, Prevention & Education Program Coordinator
My name is Stanley, and I am 16 years old and a sophomore at Jeremiah Burke High School in Dorchester, but I live in Charlestown. I joined Turn it Around because it's an opportunity for me to get some help through my life experiences. In the future, I want to play professional basketball.
