Richard A. Gayle

A 2006 graduate from Tennessee State University with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, Mr. Gayle has extensive experience working with troubled youth using a Transition to Independence approach as well as Behavioral Modification strategies to counsel troubled youth. Counseling youth, his passion since his days as a youth counselor at the Sarasota Boys and Girls club, he uses creative interventions such as (i) teaching them to play chess in hopes that learning such a thought provoking game will help them become critical thinkers and strategists, (ii) engaging them in extreme workouts he used in his days as a football player to help push them past what they believe are their physical limits; and (iii) teaching them to make healthy food choices and challenging them to prove him wrong that such choices do not effect them in a more positive way both physically and mentally. These strategies help to engage and empower these youths as well as teach them how to express and navigate through critical daily decisions that arise from the circumstance of living in an inner city environment. His perspective and passion to get youth back on track and to seize the opportunities education provides is an invaluable asset to MCC.
