HOUSTON- Students from the Summer Youth Employment Program sponsored by the African-American Chamber of Commerce of Greater Houston, share their goals after hearing an inspirational talk by Roy Douglas Malonson, founder of the chamber. Spencer Clark is a trainer at the Youth Football League which is a
local organization operated for the benefit of children who wish to
participate in the game of tackle football. The YFL is intended to be
an instructional league that places an emphasis on the fundamentals of
football.
Clark also places emphasis that the program inspires youth to
develop life skills of sportsmanship, character and teamwork.
He beleives that whatever career he chooses, he will work hard and be
dedicated. In life it is important to work well and often this means
being acknowledged as hardworking. Mr. Malonson’s words of
encouragement were based on working hard for something that you want
and Clark has a true foundation for that.
