Denzell Otis Perry is a person who has "walked a mile" in the shoes of Compton's youth. He successfully navigated gang infested neighborhoods, sat in classrooms uncertain of his future and was told he had a learning disability. His story mirrors many of today's students. Despite Perry's hardships, he graduated from high school with honors, became a National Youth of the Year Finalist for Boys & Girls Club of America, attends college, and has become a mentor for countless teens and young people. Denzell wants to be an example for students born and raised in Compton that their beginning is not their end.
At 21, Denzell is an inspiration, role model and advocate for students. Denzell's work as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of United Children's Foundation for Progress has enabled him to mentor, educate, and design curriculum, policies, and procedures that promotes good study habits, positive self-esteem and hope. His dedication to transform lives by creating pathways for success is why he seeks to continue the path that he is on.
Denzell's mission is to:
1. Discover new solutions to recurring problems.
2. Expand opportunities for positive youth development.
3. Ensure students graduate from high school with a plan for the future.
4. Increase student achievement.
