Welcome to Season 2 of Resolutionary Leaders! In today's episode, we have the privilege of speaking with Kurtis Sundblom, the dynamic director of development for the Boys and Girls Club of San Gabriel Valley and the east side. Kurtis shares his inspiring journey from a small town in Yucaipa to becoming a leading figure in community development in Los Angeles. He opens up about turning personal challenges into powerful motivators and talks passionately about initiatives like bringing sailing experiences to inner-city kids, many of whom have never seen the ocean. Kurtis's leadership extends beyond his professional role, as he also serves as the president of the Marina del Rey Rotary Club. Together, we explore how this vibrant club has evolved to reflect a forward-thinking approach to community service, emphasizing inclusivity, innovation, and action. Join us as we dive into Kurtis's story and learn about the impact of his work on communities across Los Angeles.
