November 2024 Face of Great Futures

Norlan is 9 years old and currently a 4th grader at Chegwin Elementary. This is his first year attending the Boys & Girls Club. Although Norlan has only been a Club member for a few months, he’s been selected as our Face of Great Futures because of his amazingly positive attitude, and his willingness to jump in and help staff with activities and language translation when needed. Let’s get to know Norlan!
