For more than 75 years, the Youth of the Year program has been Boys & Girls Clubs of America's signature effort to foster a new generation of leaders, fully prepared to live and lead in a diverse, global and integrated world economy.
In the 21st-century world and workplace, leadership skills such as communication, goal setting, and teamwork are essential for everyone - especially young people preparing to meet the challenges of adolescence and adulthood.
These amazing young people represent the voice and spirit and hope of America!
