Member of the Month
January
Hunter is a quiet teen. He’s not outspoken, but communicates to others in his own way and surrounds himself with like-minded people. Once he began attending Passport to Manhood, the gap to him becoming a young man quickly got smaller. Hunter set some goals, such as talking to staff when entering the building and engaging in programs like Cooking Club, Passport to Manhood, and other activities, and has been knocking them down. Hunter thanks Passport to Manhood and Staff for his new transformation to becoming more outspoken, friendlier and a much more mature younger man.
