                        2008

"The Boys & Girls Club was the one place I could go and be myself. I could trust and confide in the staff, and I discovered everything I needed to know to become a successful young lady. They have encouraged me to do my best in school and have helped prepare me for college."

Tessa has been a member of the Boys & Girls Clubs for over 4 years, and has taken part in almost every program the club has to offer. Tessa is currently a senior at Tucson High School and  will be the first in her family to graduate from high school.

Tessa plans on attending Pima Community College with the generous scholarship that has been awarded  and would like to pursue a degree in Family Studies & Human Development.
See Tessa on the website for the Tuscon Club Website.
