Abundant Life is excited to welcome Luís Sanchez-Rosa to staff as the new Middle School Tutoring Coordinator! Luís holds an Associate Degree in Business Administration from Piedmont Virginia Community College and will soon receive his BA in Sociology from Covenant College in Lookout Mountain, Georgia. He is a first-generation college student.
Luís is a very familiar face to us, having moved to Prospect Avenue in 2002 and starting in our programs in 2005. He progressed through Johnson, Walker, and Buford Tutoring, as well as the 5/8 Club and Discipleship. As a charter member of STRIVE, Luís was one of its first graduates (Charlottesville High School Class of 2014).
During high school and college, Luís had several stints on staff, as a 5/8 Club Summer Program intern (twice) and as the Buford Tutoring Coordinator in 2015-16. He thanks Dylan Rosenthal, Richard Feero, and many more men for the values they instilled in him that continue to shape his life. He enjoys conversations on soccer, music, culture, and anything else you may want to talk about.
Luís says he’s “blessed to be giving back to the community that poured so much into my growth.” We say the community is blessed to have him!
