Student Spotlight | Jorge Ontiveros, 17yrs

Jorge has been a Boys & Girls Clubs of Santa Monica member for six years and is our 2021 Youth of the Year. A remarkable student, Jorge stands out for his positivity and how he has adapted to working a fulltime job to support his family, completing his school work, applying for colleges and leading volunteer activities at school and the Club. Jorge says, “The disadvantages that we face can be our greatest advantages in life as I’m proud of the obstacles I have overcome and I’m ready to inspire others that the sky is not the limit.”

What People are Saying

 “If it weren’t for the support of  Boys & Girls Clubs of Santa Monica, I’m scared to think of where we’d be today. So thank you, thank you, thank you so very much, the difference you’ve made in my family’s life has been profound and I will forever be grateful! When I think about the impact you’ve had on just my one family and how we are just a drop in the bucket of all the desperate families you are helping, well … it’s very humbling, to say the least.”

— Joanne McClain
