What is Youth of the Year?
For nearly 70 years, the Youth of the Year program has honored and celebrated our nation's most inspiring teens. Stories of outstanding leadership, service, academic excellence, and dedication to healthy lifestyles have made Youth of the Year one of America's most prominent leadership and recognition programs for teens. These amazing youth represent the voice and spirit of hope for America. They inspire all kids to lead, to succeed, and to motivate other young people to fulfill their goals and visions.
Each year, one exceptional Club member is selected to be the National Youth of the Year, serving as an ambassador for Boys & Girls Club youth, as well as a voice for all our nation's kids and teens. Over the decades, these individuals have exemplified the Boys & Girls Club mission and are proof of the impact that Clubs make in transforming (and, sometimes, saving) kids' lives. National Youth of the Year winners have achieved success in a variety of industries, including entertainment, politics, business, and sports.
