We're wrapping up our 2024 Black History Month celebration with a feature on none other than our incredible YLC Chair, Lonnie Jackson! Here's what L.J. Jackson had to say: Reflecting on my journey as a club member, one memory stands out vividly - the unwavering support and encouragement I received to participate in athletics right from the start. 🏅 The club stood by me throughout high school, offering a convenient on-campus location at Hug High. With their academic guidance and coaching mentorship, I achieved numerous all-region athletic honors, clinched multiple northern regional championships, secured two state championships, and was honored as the NIAA Athlete of the Year in 2012. 🏆 That journey paved the way for an athletic scholarship to the University of Nevada, Reno. That scholarship facilitated my pursuit of an undergraduate degree in Criminal Justice 🔍 and enabled me to earn a Master's degree in Educational Leadership 🎓. Subsequently, I was recognized as the 2019 College of Education Outstanding Young Alumni and honored as a 2023 Wolf Pack Way Honoree. Additionally, it empowered me to establish myself as a small business owner within our community. 🏢 🏅 Head over to our Facebook page /PositivePlace for the full story. 💙
