I would love to meet like-minded individuals in the community who are interested in social equality and making this world a better place through whatever universal talents you have been blessed with. Currently, I am completing my Master's degree and plan to launch a youth center here in San Diego because I am an Agent of CHANGE!

The Tony Raynoha Youth Center (TRY-C), is an out growth of wanting to serve the youth population and the thanks I have in my heart for the Raynoha family. Tony Raynoha died unfortunately to young, but his parents had the foresight to give me a second chance at life with a kidney donation. This is my way of honoring him. We have 5 very unique programs. What we are in need of is space, equipment, supplies, nutritious food for after school snacks, mentors and volunteers.

Everyone has a gift, a talent, something that makes you special. The youth that I am engaged with only want an opportunity to be their best selves and to express themselves through music, art, dance, and to show the world that their talents are truly assets and blessings.

We all have to begin somewhere, and as humble as these beginnings maybe, it's a start and one in the right direction. I need your advise, your expertise, your help and your support. This is not about me, but it is about something larger than me. It's about our future, it's about eradicating poverty, it's about valueing the human beings that each and everyone of us is.

I will upload pictures of our progress, keep you abreast of special events, issues that concern them, and let you know how things are going. We launch March 2009, please keep us in your prayers. ~ Peace & Blessings~ JoAnn
