Dedicated husband and father of five, Charles has always had a heart for youth and working alongside organizations that help bring support and resources to underprivileged and underserved communities. With more than 10 years of experience, Charles has focused his time, attention, and skills on working with youth who have been labeled and/or considered at risk. Through his own lived experience with juvenile justice, mental health, and personal struggles with alcohol & substance abuse as a young adult, Charles has overcome significant hardship. Since beginning his own journey of holistic recovery in 2013 and knowing firsthand the positive impact that a mentor can make, he desires to be a bridge in ensuring all youth are given this same opportunity. He strives to lead by example in his home and in his community. As the Hudson Regional Youth Partner at FTNYS, Charles strives to bring honesty, openness, and transparency as a means of creating hope for a brighter future for youth and young adults in the Hudson Region and beyond.
