A YMCA Membership for Jiovanni who wants to attend their Counselor in Training Program this summer

Posted May 24, 2022
Jiovanni is asking for a 6 month membership to the YMCA so that he can participate in their Counselor in Training Program this summer. Jiovanni is an excellent role model for the younger kids in the program and he enjoys teaching them new things. He is really excited to have the opportunity to one day become their go-to counselor. Having a membership will also allow him to go to the YMCA over the weekend to stay active, play basketball or go swimming.

Jiovanni is 16 years old and lives in RI

Jiovanni is a funny and outgoing teenager who loves making others laugh. Jiovanni recently entered foster care and has adjusted to his new environment quickly. He isn't a fan of school, but attends daily and has received lots of praise from his teachers this year. Jiovanni is able to make friends quickly and has a variety of interests. He enjoys anime, and playing video games in his free time.

"Thank you for granting Jiovanni's wish! Jiovanni is very excited about joining the YMCA. He really enjoys the CIT program and has been eager for the summer to start. He also recently learned he will be moving to a kinship home that he has been advocating for since entering foster care. The YMCA he will attend will be closer to his new community and he will be able to meet up with his friends to play basketball or swim. Jiovanni is looking forward to beginning the next chapter in his life and enjoying the positive experiences he will have at the YMCA. Your generosity is greatly appreciated. -Jessica"
