When you meet Jaime Weller-Lafavor, you will want to help her achieve her goals. Her compassion for others and her dedication to making a difference is palpable.

As the chief administrative officer of Boys & Girls Clubs of Southern Nevada, she has been the major driving force in helping achieve their current technology space for the children that use their services. The programs offered at Boys & Girls Clubs teaches members basic computer skills, introduces them to digital movie making, music composition, photography, graphic design and web development, and provides homework help and educational software.

At Boys & Girls Clubs, it is their mission to inspire and enable all young people to realize their full potential, especially those from disadvantaged circumstances. Access to technology is a large part of achieving this goal. Weller-Lafavor has committed to providing all children that pass through the doors of Boys & Girls Clubs with that access, even if they do not have it at home. She has worked to upgrade the bandwidth to provide efficient internet access and load at each club, so while members are there, they can utilize the available technology in whatever way needed. She has also added new ventures for children in the gaming and computer space with a focus on STEM.

Weller-Lafavor’s drive to help the community never slows. As an effective public speaker and motivator, and with a background as a certified grant professional, she often taps into her unique skill set to encourage community support, donations and funding to grow the resources needed for the Boys & Girls Clubs to continue to provide for those that need them the most.
