Youth of the Year--Kevin Martinez
Kevin Martinez (yes, the same Kevin who is at our front desk) is our 2009 Youth of the Year.
Kevin is pictured below with the candidates from 7 other Clubs in the East Valley. Kevin has been a member of the Club for 12 years. I (that would be Mindy) have a picture of him at the age of 2 years at our Annual Thanksgiving Dinner with his grandmother. That tells you that this kid literally grew up at the Club.
We are very excited that Kevin is representing the Compadre Branch and the winner will be announced on March 2, 2009!
His bio is below....
18 year old Kevin Martinez has been going to the Compadre Branch in Chandler
since he was very young. In fact, the Boys & Girls Clubs has been in his life so
long that the director of the Compadre Branch has a photo of Kevin when he was
a baby in a stroller at the Club’s traditional Thanksgiving dinner! Kevin is from a
large family with seven siblings and has been raised by his “Nana” his entire life.
He has had to be raised by his grandmother because his mother spent seven
years in prison for a crime she did not commit… her conviction was eventually
overturned.
Kevin is currently the President of the Keystone Club at the Chandler Branch.
Keystone is a service and leadership club within the Club. He has completed
countless hours of volunteering at the Club Thanksgiving dinners, but mostly
volunteers at various nursing homes in the Chandler community. Kevin is also
very active with his church and his high school’s track team, Cultural Student
Union and Vibe and Step Dance Team.
Kevin is a senior at Hamilton High School and plans to attend Chandler-Gilbert
Community College when he graduates and wants to study business. Kevin will
be the first person in his family to attend college which his Nana is very proud of.

Why I have the best kids............
Now I want you to know..............I HAVE THE BEST KIDS!!!When everybody was taking pictures and pushing (mostly parents!) my kids sat, in these bleachers, waiting our turn. We were suppose to be group 13 and they never made it to 13. And no one complained. No one was upset that we didn't get our picture taken with them...........they are truly the best and that's why I love them and look after opportunities for them to experience.Remember my words to live by................
Hope and Opportunity
Jay Z, LeBron and Beyonce.......
It was quite the experience................
