On Episode 6 of the podcast, Shawnessy Cargile – podcast host and creator of the Savannah Youth Mentoring HUB – talks about his career-long dedication to supporting & advocating for youth.
His 20+ years working with youth ranges from youth in schools to foster care to the juvenile justice system to those he now assists in his role as Family Engagement & Activities Coordinator for The Front Porch.
Shawnessy candidly shares what drives him, why little quirky positive interactions can have a big impact, and how a memorable mentoring disaster and mentoring misstep from his college and early career days taught him what NOT to do as a youth mentor.
