Community Connection: James Marquez

James Marquez, lead Youth Violence Prevention Specialist joined Tree King on Community Connection.

James works alongside McBride Impact, a non-profit organization that works with the youth and brings the community together for the common good.

. He also works with Aurora Public Schools as a facilitator and mentor, offering leadership classes.

With Aurora Saves, he works with teens on the border of getting on the wrong side of the tracks and brings them to one of these organizations where they assist the youth in staying on track while keeping their minds occupied with good things, like helping others.

His sons, Marquell, Jamesleon, and Zane, have created The Box State Mow Boyz LLC. They’ve been in business since 2021. They go door to door to offer services, including mowing yard clean-up, landscaping, cleaning leaves, gutters, and snow removal, to name a few…at the same time, they help youth build partnerships within the community.
