Our Response:

* Focus on Mentorship

Perfect take off! Javon is only 9! However, he has been with the team for a couple of years, and now is a Life on Life Academy student. It has been amazing to watch him develop his skill as an acrobat. Now we also have the blessing of watching him develop as an awesome student and a young man of character.
