The Soul Goals, Episode 38: Marcel
Marcel knows struggle. But he also knows perseverance. Through his addiction grew the understanding that our youth today need nurturing and support in ways that empower them to find their will to succeed even through their circumstances.
In 2016, Marcel began a non-profit program in the Middle Tennessee area called “Be About Change.” After attending yet another funeral of a teenager gone-too-soon to violence and addiction, the experience of being around caring adults and the chance to uplift and empower a group of young people who felt lost and stuck was something he felt compelled to tackle. Marcel began building a community that helps our youth stand back up when they fall and offers them tools to understand that they offer immense gifts to this world, much of which is untapped and undiscovered.
“Be About Change” works with youth to establish literacy, dynamic life, and to continue their education and gain confidence to realize their true leadership qualities. With many ways to get involved, “Be About Change” is affecting lives through those that they help as well as those individuals that serve and offer assistance. In knowing that “to whom much is given, much will be required” (Luke 12:48), Marcel’s personal growth and recovery has given way to this integral concept for youth who are struggling to be seen, heard, and to understand their innate brilliance.
Check out our compelling conversation about self-growth and how helping others helps ourselves. As Father Mark Beckman says, “allowing the light of the Lord to shine through us like a stain glassed window” brings hope to those we encounter. “Be About Change” continues to be those pieces of light in lives of darkness through even the most narrow of openings.
