I have been a Trustee of Emerald Youth for more than three years. The organization provides hope, learning, faith, and positive relationships for at-risk kids in the heart of our city. Every year, more than a thousand young people are walking a pathway to being just and loving leaders in our community because of Emerald Youth and its Just Lead program. I am proud and blessed to be a part of this vital ministry.
