Denyelle

Denyelle Rashid, is a native of Cleveland and a graduate of John Hay High School.  She is dedicated to advocating on behalf of youth and families to ensure they are knowledgeable about their community. Additionally, her goal is to provide them an understanding of resources and opportunities accessible to them through the Cleveland Metropolitan School District (CMSD). To facilitate that, Denyelle’s desire is to develop a program to assist single parents and struggling families to identify and participate in, CMSD and community building activities such as workshops, festivals, plays, and cultural celebrations.  She believes that taking advantage of such events will expose children and their families to positive, enriching environments that will be of academic, emotional and social benefit. Denyelle also plans to incorporate a transport component into her program to alleviate transportation problems.
