2025 Winner

Congratulations to Hunter Gomez for winning Mentor Foundation USA’s short video contest ”Living The Example” 2025. 🎉🌟

By dedicating himself to service, discipline, and self-improvement, Hunter Gomez has become a powerful example of what it means to lead with purpose. As a Master Sergeant in the Young Marines, he pours his energy into drug demand reduction and community service, while also pushing his own limits — training in taekwondo, pursuing his second black belt, developing new skills in software, cooking healthy meals for his family, running daily, and of course spending time with his dog, Ginger.
Hunter inspires other youth by living out his own motto: stay committed, keep passionate, and love life. He is a true Ambassador for his peers and is genuinely “Living the Example.”

Next year’s ”Living The Example” video contest is currently accepting submissions. Find more information on Mentor Foundation USA’s instagram and facebook.

Thank you Hunter for inspiring all of us, and for continuing ”Living The Example.”
