On April 30th, 2023, the East Canton community came together to celebrate the launch of the Smile Foundation, a youth mentoring program which will make a real difference in the lives of young people in the East Canton area. This program was founded by Village Police Sgt. Jmon Wells, who recognized the need for positive role models and mentors for all our local youth.
At the launch event, we were thrilled to see the East Canton community come together to support this important initiative. Local officials, business leaders, and community members all showed up to demonstrate their commitment to the future of our young people.
The Smile Foundation aims to match local youth with caring and committed mentors who can provide guidance, support, and encouragement as they navigate the challenges of growing up. Already, we have seen the positive impact that this program is having on the lives of young people in our area.
If you’re inspired to get involved, there are many ways to support the Smile Foundation. You can volunteer as a mentor, donate to the program, or simply spread the word to others in your community. With your help, we can continue to make a real difference in the lives of young people in the Village of East Canton – one smile at a time.
