Growing up, Jonathon Granado was blessed with many role models and given many examples of what it means to serve others. Nana and Tata’s house was a place for gathering, not only for family but also neighbors, friends, and new faces were always welcome at the kitchen counter to enjoy a meal or a cup of coffee. Mom and Dad are founders of nonprofit organizations and find ways to provide shelter, clothes, care, and guidance to youth across the valley. Now as an adult, Jonathon has 7+ years of behavioral health services and has founded his own nonprofit organization, Hummingbird Hearts Boxing Club Foundation, educating youth on the importance of health and wellness and providing boxing lessons. Guiding and encouraging youth to improve their self-esteem, their self-discipline, and their self-defence is incredibly rewarding. However, Jonathon believes there is still a great need for services that support a living faith, a relationship with God, and a love for ourselves, others, and our community. As Director of Connections, Jonathon strives to organize events, activities, and gatherings that plant and nurture seeds of kindness and service in today’s youth.
