Robert Hunter

I am an individual who is passionate about making a lasting impact in the lives of others. I have spent the past 13 years of my career in various industries including education, fundraising and workforce development. During the aforementioned time I have held a wide variety of positions in each field. This experience has afforded me the opportunity to give back some of the values and lessons that were once taught to me. Everyday I appreciate the privilege I have to create a life long-memory for those I touch and I hope my actions inspire others do to the same.

"A life is not important, except on the impact it has on others" -Jackie Robinson

Jonathan Hunter

"I am honored and privileged to have the opportunity to work in the Youth Development field for 15 years. It is my passion to invest in our future in underserved communities who may have the lack of resources or opportunities for youth to become the best versions of themselves. In this walk I strive to empower our youth with the skills to enhance their personal development. Giving them the tools to consistently strive to become their best selves.

Through my experience gained through the multiple roles in the field from administrative to direct service I have gained a unique lens which allows me to effectively connect with our community. Allowing me to equip them with the Social Emotional Tools focus on identifying goals, increasing self awareness, building self value, conflict resolution skills, communication skills, and how to work within a team setting. These are values that are equally important to the development of our youth and are essential transferable to the workforce and academic fields.

I am excited to be apart of building the next generation of leaders who will shape the world and our nation."

"I'm a dedicated advocate of youth development, community togetherness, and positive role modeling. As a youth growing up in Bedford Stuyvesant, I have witnessed first hand the importance of wise mentoring, education and having positive outlets. Through various activities (mainly sports), I've surrounded myself with many "Coaches" in life. With a backing in sports training and coaching, strong communal ties, and a career path in education; I believe that we can achieve a better tomorrow with proper guidance and outlets for our youths of today"
