YOUTH OF THE YEAR

Since 1947, Youth of the Year has been Boys & Girls Club of America’s premier recognition program, celebrating the extraordinary achievements of Club teens. Through their time at the Club, these teens have exemplified the Boys & Girls Club mission and are proof the impact Clubs make in changing and saving lives.

Candidates who have competed in the YOY Academy and Competition have gone on to GREAT success. YOY is arguably the most impactful and rewarding event of the year!
