How did you come to Solidarity? I heard about the Solidarity Crew from my brother who, at the time was attending Hope International University. When I moved to Southern California from the Nation of Texas I had the opportunity to come check it out and Volunteer. A few years of volunteering led to a paid position, and the rest is history. 

What is your role at Solidarity? As the Teen Center director I have the opportunity to hang out with, and get to know the teens in the neighborhood. I help to structure and plan all of the activities that are available for the Teens, such as Hang-out time, Homework help, workshops, activities, and outings.

As the Solid House Director I have the amazing opportunity to share life with 6 elementary- middle school age boys. Through this ongoing friendship/ mentorship we are able to teach and practice the truth of Christ’s love while learning life skills, and developing interests and talents. 

What is the best part of your role? I love being able to follow Christ within a community of my closest friends. Because of this there is no separation between work, ministry, and “normal” day life. It is all simply Life.
