Terry McLaurin saw the Commanders at their lowest. The wide receiver was the face of the franchise while former owner Dan Snyder was involved in countless controversies over a crumbling stadium, an unpopular name change and claims of a toxic workplace.
But as he launched the Full Circle Jobs Program for homeless youth in Leesburg, Virginia, on Thursday, McLaurin was representing a franchise rehabilitated and rejuvenated.
“It’s just very inspirational having Terry here,” said Josue Arias, a 21-year-old at the event. “He’s raising awareness, showing there’s hope in life. Without hope, [homeless youth] ain’t going to achieve nothing. I see it myself.”
Mr. Arias went to Mobile Hope for help as a 16-year-old and has returned after being incarcerated. His main goal? Stability.
McLaurin was there to help.
“We all remember being a young person at one time and how anxious we can be going into the next stage of life,” the 29-year-old said. “They just need someone to come alongside them, pick them up and help them take the next step forward.”
McLaurin encouraged young adults as they cycled through stations designed to help them land jobs.
