A proposito di questo titolo
 Youth mentorship and community collaboration can change the trajectory of a child’s life. But creating real opportunities for young people requires more than one organization working alone.
In this episode of The Lift Effect Podcast, host Keyania Johnson sits down with Anna Dieuveuil, Director of the Bradley Otis Boys & Girls Club, to explore how youth programs, mentorship, education, family engagement, and community partnerships are helping children in Orlando’s West Lakes community thrive.

With 18 years of experience at Boys & Girls Clubs, Anna shares what happens when caring adults consistently show up for young people. From academic support and reading comprehension to STEM education, robotics, performing arts, sports, gardening, and leadership experiences, the Bradley Otis Clubhouse creates opportunities for children to discover their strengths and imagine bigger futures.

The conversation also explores the importance of collaboration between Boys & Girls Clubs, Lift Orlando, Orange Center Elementary, families, nonprofits, and other community organizations working together to close opportunity gaps.

Anna shares the personal story behind her commitment to youth development, including the heartbreaking loss of two former club members and how the Boys & Girls Club community rallied around young people and families through grief. Their legacy continues to remind her why mentorship, belonging, and showing up matter.

In this episode:
  • Why youth mentorship matters
