I must say that Matt's passion for mentoring and inspiring young people is truly impressive. Matt has a unique ability to connect with youth and encourage them to open up and explore deeper topics such as the meaning of life and vulnerability. During his sessions, he has facilitated discussions that have allowed the students to express their feelings in a safe and nurturing environment. His ability to form meaningful connections not only with the students but also with the staff has been remarkable. Over the past three years, the boys who have attended his sessions have transformed into confident young people.
