Wes Chamberlain knows exactly how beneficial Give Every Child a Chance can be for the kids that need to utilize its services. The lifelong Mantecan – who works as a Firefighter-Engineer for the City of Manteca – has been around the organization in some capacity since it was founded. Now a board member for non-profit tutoring organization, Chamberlain remembers when his wife started working for the organization shortly after it was founded by the late Antone Raymus as a way to provide opportunities for kids struggling in school, and as such Chamberlain has seen the organization grow immensely ever since.
