The story
Kaydence first connected with OhanaHC during a time of transition at Wilde Lake High School. What she found was a sense of community and people who helped her feel supported.
Now a senior at the University of Maryland studying Public Health, Kaydence is giving that same sense of connection back as a mentor.
I joined OhanaHC during a time of transition, looking for a sense of community and something meaningful. My Wilde Lake Ohana has given me both.
Her story is part of what makes OhanaHC special. Young people grow, move forward, and often find new ways to stay connected to the village that supported them.
For Kaydence, mentoring is a way to keep that cycle going.
