March Volunteer Spotlight Bre’Yon

This month we’re excited to share about Bre’Yon, our youngest volunteer!

Where are you from? New Orleans

What first brought you to 826 New Orleans?  Ms. Kelsey and I really like kids!

What keeps you coming back? All of the kids and my good friend Ma’Lani, who comes in on Mondays and Wednesdays.

What are some skills you have that help you out at 826 New Orleans?  Patience. You have to have the patience to handle all the different types of kids who come in here every single day. They have different attitudes and different things they go through.
