For Club members at Pete Nance Boys & Girls Club being named Youth of the Month is a high honor. Every month youth are recognized for modeling their leadership abilities.

For the month of November, PNBGC named Gabriel Allen for our Youth of the Month and MJ Peaks for our Junior Youth of the Month.

“Gabriel Allen is extremely humble. He comes into the club everyday eagerly ready to work,” Program Coordinator, Diedra Richbow, shared. “He is an absolute pleasure to work with and he doesn’t mind helping others. MJ Peaks comes in the Club every day with a smile on his face. He is always willing to brighten up anyone's day with a joke. MJ has been a Club member for a short period of time but does not mind helping staff or fellow Club members.

“I am so very proud of our youth of the month members as we are starting to really focus on developing their talents and abilities to help the be the best they can be in and out of the Club. Gabriel is truly a remarkable young man with excellent behavior manners and attitude,” Stacy McClendon, PNCBGC Director, shared. “I am beyond proud of his improvement particularly with his homework. There is nothing he cannot achieve if he continues to grow in the Club, at home and in school.”

Youth Development Professional, Destiny McClendon, shared that MJ is always offering a helping hand.

“MJ is always engaged in the programs that are being taught to the Club members, McClendon shared. “He continues to stay locked into growing as a person and a club member to be the best that he can while being a good student.”
