Davis, a freshman at the University of Tampa, is passionate about positively impacting the youth in the Tampa Bay community. With his father serving in the U.S. Army, Davis grew up actively involved in MacDill Air Force Base Youth Programs and learned first-hand how youth programs influence the military community. Davis has donated his time volunteering at Metropolitan Ministries, Trinity Café, Glazer Children's Museum and served as a Teen Leader for MacDill Air Force Base Youth Programs. In addition, Davis actively works to combat cyberbullying among children and teens. He implemented and led an anti-cyberbullying campaign that generated awareness and promoted acceptance of race and gender. The campaign materials from Davis' program were distributed to Florida Military Installations state-wide.
Davis will partner with Boys & Girls Club of Tampa Bay to create an innovative anti-cyberbullying campaign aimed at developing mutual respect and fostering acceptance of others. The program will include interactive learning environments and brainstorming sessions led by peers. Davis' new initiative will produce educational videos that focus on the prevention of cyberbullying and will provide support to those affected by bullying.
