See How Stability Helps Justin Find His Place

Justin

A very outgoing young man with a mind that moves a mile a minute, Justin is very inquisitive but extremely helpful. He must be kept busy to keep his curious mind moving in the right direction.

Justin, 15, moved around a lot during his childhood and pre-teen years and lived with multiple guardians. His constant change took a toll on his confidence and sense of belonging.

Since joining the Club in 2005, Justin has shown tremendous improvement, as his demeanor and confidence have positively changed. He now takes initiative and has leadership responsibilities in his Club, such as Keystone Club Vice President and Jr. Staff member.

The Club has given him the opportunity to help at home financially, which he takes great pride in doing because he wants to give back to his aunt, his guardian, who has done great things for Justin and his sibling.

Within the safe, stable Club environment, caring staff and mentors give Justin support and advice for making decisions about his future. He has learned to positively interact with others and is becoming more responsible and caring – overall, he’s matured greatly.

As Justin puts it, “I don’t have to worry anymore thanks to the Club and my aunt.” He is blossoming into a very educated, caring man. As he continues on this path of confidence and leadership, the sky is the limit.
