Meet our Graduating Teens from the Class of 2025
Updated: Jun 9, 2025
At Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Baltimore, we're building something bold: a teen program that inspires, supports, and grows with our youth. Teen retention is one of the biggest challenges we face, but when teens do stay, they help shape something powerful. This year, we’re celebrating four remarkable young men, who not only stayed committed to the Club, but helped shape the future of what our teen program can be.
From showing up even when schedules were packed...
To mentoring younger teens in the Club…
To sharing their voices for advocacy and in everyday conversations...
These graduates have been more than Club members, they’ve been leaders.
Jaheid is headed to Coppin State to pursue neurosurgery—and he’s doing it while navigating the rewarding challenge of being a young father. He credits the Club as a safe space, and fondly remembers going skiing, playing basketball against other Clubs, and attending the Summit for America’s Youth.
Keenan’s next chapter includes earning his CDL and entering the workforce. His favorite memories include the Sky Zone teen field trip, E-Sports in the game room, and time on the basketball court.
Derek is headed to Community College of Baltimore County (CCBC) this Fall to study Criminal Justice and Law. His favorite memory from the Club was taking over the front desk. Whether greeting guests or keeping things in order, Derek knows how to take charge (with a smile).
(Not pictured) After graduating this August, Brendon plans to attend the Community College of Baltimore County (CCBC), where he will major in Cybersecurity. One of his favorite memories is participating in the podcast and playing E-Sports in the game room.
When asked what they wanted others to know before they move on to what’s next, they all said the same thing: "The Club is a safe space for everyone."
Everyone belongs is exactly what we want every teen to feel when they walk through our doors.
These young men are paving the way for what it means to be a Club teen balancing life, responsibility, and ambition, while lifting up those around them. To Jaheid, Keenan, Derek, Brendon and all the teens building this next chapter with us: thank you. The foundation you’ve laid will impact countless youth to come. 💙

Searching 192.168.o.1 tenda usually means you are looking for information about accessing a Tenda router. Check the address carefully because the letter “o” may have been entered instead of the number zero.
Thanks for explaining the topic in a straightforward way. I was checking different router addresses and came across 192.168.11 during my search. It is helpful to understand that an incorrect or incomplete address may not open the router settings page, so checking the actual gateway address is important.
Such an inspiring post! Huge congratulations to Jaheid, Keenan, Derek, Brendon, and all the graduates of the Class of 2025. It’s amazing to see how much positive impact the Club has on these young men as they step into their next chapters. By the way, while catching up on inspiring stories and community updates online today, whenever I wanted a quick and relaxing mental break, I hopped onto minigame to play some fun browser games. They're totally free and instant-play with zero downloads needed, which is a great way to unwind. Wishing these graduates the absolute best in their futures!
