Gavin O’Neil

Gavin is a caring and curious leader in Petersburg who spent the summer assisting as a youth mentor in our local Kinderskog program, an outdoor education-based childcare program. Gavin assisted in providing knowledge on local flora and fauna, safety protocols, and emotional support to younger peers. Gavin was also one of the early members of the local Skeet Shooting Team, Devils Thumb Shooters. Kinderskog and Devil’s Thumb Shooters both support families by providing a healthy, outdoor, supportive community for the youth in our small town, which is something Petersburg has been lacking. Gavin has been a leader in these activities, creating a welcoming and encouraging environment for others to share in the enjoyment that the activities have to offer.
