Jahmir Ray
Recreation Coordinator
Jahmir Ray was born and raised in Norristown, Pennsylvania and is a 2019 graduate of Norristown Area High School. He is the one of six siblings.
Mr. Ray recently completed an apprenticeship program for Electrical Construction. this hands-on program provided the exposure Jahmir needed to fully submerge himself into the field and get up front experience with real life situations. When school returns, Mr. ray will be enrolling in the Industrial Program which will put him one step closer to beginning his career in a field he’s passionate about.
Jahmir’s long term career goal is to own his own business which will give him the freedom to run more programs like the one he recently participated in. Mr. Ray understands not everyone learns the same and not everyone is destined for a traditional four-year college. Operating a business will allow him to expose young men and women to the electrical construction field through the same hands-on experience that helped him.
Mr. Ray has been an employee of the George Washington Carver Community Center for just under a year. He originally came on through a paid internship provided by the Montgomery County Intermediate Unit. Once that program concluded, he was brought on as a direct hire.
Mr. Ray is committed to providing a safe environment for the youth of our community to express themselves. He meets them on their level and discusses real life situations with them in order to show them there are greater opportunities in arms reach.
