Episode 3 - Jimmy Crescenzo - Making A Difference: The East End Boys Club

Jimmy Crescenzo started the East End Boys Club out of a desire to help the marginalized youth between the ages of 13-18 at the high school where he was a teacher. Having lost his own father at an early age, Jimmy had an empathetic heart for boys who were alone and struggling through difficult family circumstances.

The East End Boys Club provides life skills training and emotional support for boys who could easily fall through the cracks of society.

City In Focus has come alongside Jimmy and his staff to raise bursaries for the boy’s continued education. Tom Cooper helps the boys participate in CIF’s annual leadership prayer breakfast and provides business women and men to share their lives and faith with JImmy's weekly club meetings.

Join us for Episode 3 to hear from this amazing man and his capacious heart for others.
