Felicia H. | Wisotsky Branch

Sixteen-year-old Felicia Holly is a junior at Centennial High School and a longtime member of the Jerry & Helen Wisotsky Boys & Girls Club. After losing her mother and experiencing housing instability, she found support living with a family friend—and found emotional safety and stability at the Club.

Felicia serves as an Emerging Leader, helps run music and gym programs, and discovered her leadership voice through Keystone and the national Anti-Bullying initiative.

Beyond the Club, she is active in FCCLA culinary arts, debate, and serves on the Peoria Youth Advisory Board. She also represents more than 30,000 young people as a City Council Youth Liaison—one of her proudest accomplishments.

Felicia dreams of attending Harvard University to study law and hopes to be remembered for her desire to help others.
