Will Kelly's Biography
A native to Richmond, Will Kelly grew up in the suburbs of the city and is now trying to broaden his experience by living in Church Hill. He got involved at CHAT just this past spring semester, and through interacting with the kids there felt led to turn his summer into a CHAT summer. The more he is around CHAT, the kids, and the board members, the more he sees CHAT's vision for the community. There is not a need for other people to lend a hand to this community, but to instead walk alongside it and be a part of it. Will hopes that this summer he and his gifts will be used to bless CHAT and the community, and to also see God work through everyday living and simple community there in Church Hill.
