Carlos has been a member since 7th grade and comes to the clubhouse 1-2 times a week. He plays on his school’s soccer team and does video game design at Boys’ Club.
Throughout his Journey, Carlos has developed a sense of safety at BCNY, using his time in the clubhouse to expand his interests, strengths, and weaknesses.
STEP 1
Carlos participates in his school’s gay-straight alliance (GSA) club and hasn’t come out to his friends at BCNY yet.
Through GSA, Carlos has grown his sense of responsibility to communities beyond him and his family. He has also gained critical awareness around social and political issues, especially as they relate to BIPOC youth.

Carlos has done Project Build, Project Tech, and Counselor in Training. He loves tech and hands-on work the most. He’s not sure if college is right for him and might be interested in trade school.
Through an extensive career training Journey, Carlos improves his hands-on skills while strengthening his responsibility and accountability. As he considers trade school, he develops his independence and ability to advocate for himself.
