FORT STEWART, Ga. — Meet Luis Camacho, the Youth Center computer technician who has dedicated 25 years of civil service to the Fort Stewart community. Known for his support of local youth, Camacho is the latest honoree in this week’s “Faces of Garrison” spotlight.
Debra Grant, assistant director of the Directorate of Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation and Child Youth Services, praised Camacho’s character and longstanding commitment.
“Mr. Luis is a respectful, positive and well-rounded individual, characterized by his intelligence and unwavering dedication to inspiring young people,” Grant said. “He is welcoming and frequently shares valuable life lessons. He exemplifies an active, proactive attitude and demonstrates a consistent readiness to assist colleagues, youth and parents.”
Camacho reflected on one of his proudest achievements, receiving a prestigious award from U.S. Army Installation Management Command, marking him as the sole recipient at that time. Still, accolades are not what drive him, he said.
“What I find most fulfilling about my job is engaging with young people and educating them about technology in a fun way,” Camacho said. “Their enthusiasm for youth development continues to shape lives every day.”
Camacho credits his mother for instilling the motivation that has guided his career.
“She advised me to always strive to do my best in everything I undertake,” he said.
Looking ahead, Camacho said “innovation is the dream.” He hopes to further advance technology within CYS, inspired by the creativity and connection of the youth.
When asked what advice he’d offer newcomers to Army civilian life, he said simply, “Think creatively and consistently. Strive to exceed your responsibilities.”
Camacho’s two decades of service have made a lasting impact and is a testament to his dedication, vision and belief in the power of youth.
