January 2025 Face of Great Futures

Paisley is 10 years old and currently a 5th grader at Evans Elementary. She has been a Club member for the past 4 years, and loves attending because it’s fun, she gets help with homework, and meets new people! In addition to being our Face of Great Futures for the month of January, Paisley was also selected as a Youth of the Month winner at our Johnsonville site back in November (see photo below). She was recognized for modeling the Boys & Girl Club Value RESPONSIBILITY. Let’s get to know Paisley!
