Empowering Youth Leaders: Leon Gonzalez Leads the Way in Youth Mental Health Support
Director of Partner Engagement Priscilla Rosado presented 17-year-old Leon Gonzalez with a $5,000 check as part of United Way of the Greater Lehigh Valley’s Youth Mental Health Innovation Grant. This grant is designed to support innovative projects that prioritize and enhance the mental well-being of young people.
Leon Gonzalez’s project, the Being Phenom(enal) Program, is designed to offer mentorship to other young men who find themselves in difficult circumstances. It provides a space for them to express how they are feeling and also provides discipline and confidence moving forward.
United Way of the Greater Lehigh Valley is proud to be able to support Leon with the Being Phenom(enal) Program and a huge thanks goes to the donors who contributed during our UNITED for Mental Health Initiative for helping make this funding possible.
