“One afternoon, I was in the front part of C4K working with my mentee, Johnny. One young lady came in, and it was almost like she was at home. She dropped her books and a book bag and violin and things like that, and she let out a big sigh, as if she were saying, “I’m in a safe place. I’m at home.” I thought, “This is what we need for our youth. This is what our youth need.” – Juandiego Wade, C4K mentor and chair of the Charlottesville City School Board
