"Tony" Matthews Boys & Girls Club Youth of the Year Candidate

Meet Devon Driscoll-Ross

Devon has faced many challenges in his young life, but he’s learned lots of lessons along the way. He and his mother both emerged from tough situations with a steady life view, a firm belief that love and time together are worth far more than any material goods.

At his Club, Devon gives his love and time, dedicating himself to helping others. A member of A.W. “Tony” Matthews Boys & Girls Club for five years, Devon has earned the respect of other members and become a leader among his peers. He has helped plan and execute a variety of volunteer projects, including the Senior Citizen Service Project, Pet Rescue, Community Sweep Program and Hosea Feed the Hungry. 

Devon is focused on his future.  As a junior at Pebblebrook High School, he is part of the performing arts magnet program and is always looking for ways to learn and grow. He knows a solid education will bring him one step closer to achieving his career goals. One day, Devon hopes to become a child psychologist so he can help others overcome obstacles, find peace and realize success.
