How Southfield Esquires Impact Youth
“I can’t thank the Southfield Esquires Mentoring Program, for all that you’ve done for my son Charles Louis Allen Jr., and for the impact the program had on his life then and today.
Charles is not that same Sophomore in High School that he was before your program. Back then, he was a shy and insecure young man who was struggling with self-confidence.
Now I see the growth of a very well spoken intelligent honor student who has become more secure and confident with himself, while continuing his education as a Sophomore at Alabama A&M University.” —Tonya Bohannon
