Lance

February 10, 2019/in Story /by Matt

My name is Lance and I’ve been coming to Western Youth Network for 3 years now. At WYN’s after school and summer camp I’ve gotten to try a lot of new things like being an emcee, hiking and eating new foods. I’ve learned a lot about math at WYN because things like ratios and measurements used to be really hard for me but aren’t so hard now. My favorite memory from WYN is swimming at Wildcat Lake on hot summer days.

Having a mentor with WYN is also really special. My mentor’s name is Michael and we’ve been matched for 2 years now. We have a lot in common so I really like hanging out with him. He gets me out of the house and takes me to neat new places.

I want to be a YouTube star when I’m older so it’s really cool that Michael knows a lot about videos and broadcasting. One time, he taught me about filming and let me be in a movie for App State.

WYN is really welcoming and really awesome!

At WYN, we value what makes you unique, in fact, we celebrate it. We believe that when people feel respected, it provides space for them to thrive. Inclusion and acceptance fosters a safe environment for everyone. WYN is committed to providing a safe space for all, regardless of race, gender, age, religion, identity, ability, and experience.
