Malachi became a Webloes for The Boy Scouts of America (Pack 235) in 2010.  Malachi is also a Junior Life Member of the Brooklyn Branch NAACP, and an active member of the Jamaica Branch. 

 



Malachi is the Co Founder/Jr President of a public speaking workshop for youth.  Townsley’s Oratory Group-Voices (TogVoy) was founded in March, 2009.  Malachi was introduced to public speaking at the age of 9.  The first speech Malachi was given to learn, memorize and recite was a speech delivered by Pres. Barack Obama, when he was senator, at the MLK national memorial ground breaking which was delivered November 13th, 2006.  Since then, Malachi has memorized & recited several other speeches, and addressed many audiences.

      In 2010 and 2011, Malachi’s entered the 26th & 27th Annual MLK Essay, Poetry & Art Contest.  Malachi’s essays won 1st Place both years.  For the 2010 contest, the topic Malachi chose was ‘Describe how Dr. Martin Luther King would advise us to deal with “bullying” at school.’  Malachi chose this topic because, as a student, who has been the victim of “bullying”, violence and harassment in school (since the second grade) this was quite personal to him.  As an orator, Malachi would like to become an ambassador for Anti-Bullying and Respect for All Week.  Malachi says, “I would love to go around and visit schools and talk to the youth!  I would love to start my own ‘Anti Bullying’ campaign.  I want the youth to represent one another.”

      As a 2012 alumni of the People to People Ambassadors Program, Malachi toured England, France, Belgium, Switzerland, Germany and The Netherlands as a student ambassador representing the USA.  Malachi also represented the NAACP Jamaica Branch Youth & College division as a Delegate at their 2013 Annual National Convention in Orlando, Fl.
