Tyona L. McCoy-Jennette
Student Leader of the Year
Tyona L. McCoy-Jennette is a first-generation college student and a first-year scholar at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. At UNCG, she is an active member of the NBS Gospel Choir, where she shares her love for music and faith, using both as a way to encourage and uplift others.
Her passion for leadership and service began at an early age. At just 12 years old, she became part of the XTL community, a space that shaped her values and purpose. Over the last four years, Tyona has served in New York City, North Carolina, and Florida as both a captain and staff member. She has also played a key role in growing the community by enrolling more than 30 students into the Charlotte, NC Carolina trainings—an achievement that reflects her commitment to developing new leaders and creating opportunities for others.
Tyona’s heart for service has also been evident through her work with Urban Promise Charlotte, a nonprofit dedicated to children in underserved neighborhoods. As a Street Leader, she served as a mentor, teacher, and role model, making a lasting impact on the young people she worked with. She was honored to share her story at the organization’s annual Promise Brunch, where she spoke to the wider Urban Promise community about the power of faith and perseverance. Her commitment to growth shows in every area of her life. She completed four years in the TRiO Upward Bound College Program, preparing herself academically and personally for the challenges of higher education. Musically, she has been a member of her high school Women’s Chamber Choir, plays the guitar, and has studied violin for more than five years.
At her core, Tyona is a deeply spiritual, God-fearing woman. Her faith is what grounds her, and she finds joy in leading and participating in group Bible studies with friends and within her community. Those who know her describe her as humble, compassionate, and strong - a young woman who leads with integrity and inspires others to grow alongside her.
Tyona’s journey reflects her belief in service, leadership, and faith. She continues to build a life that not only elevates her own growth but also opens doors for others to thrive.
A portion of the proceeds will support a Scholarship Endowment Fund for our Transformation Leadership Lifetime Achievement Award Honorees.
