Jamario Clayton - D3 Member - Player of the Week

Jamario Clayton was nicknamed "The Total Package" while playing in D3's Annnual Hayti Basketball Summer League. Jamario understands and sees the benefits that come with being apart of D3 Community Outreach, Incorporated and as a result returning home from college during the summer expressed interest and now coaches in the Hayti Basketball  Summer League. "This is one thing that continues to drive me is to see these young men come home and give back to their community. They know that they are role models and examples and that they have it in them to empower others just as they were empowered", expressed Malcom Reed, Founder, when asked about Jamario.

Congratulations to Jamario Clayton for being Division III Men's Basketball  Player of the Week!

Malcom Reed, coordinator for the teen career academy at the Durham Literacy Center, has been awarded The Champions for Peace Community Service Award and the Presidents Volunteer Service Award called "The MLK Drum Major for Service Award." The award is given to people who are making a difference in the lives of young people and educators through their work.

Reed can see himself in many of the young people he works with to help stay connected to school. He works with young people, some of who have dropped out of school, and are now working on a GED. Before Reed got involved as a mentor and counselor for students at the Literacy Center, only about one in four GED students would pass the exam on their first attempt; today the rate is up to 97 percent. Without Reed, many of our students would continue to be dreaming about the life they could have if they could get a GED and get into college.
