This event supports our Leadership & Character Development areas. It is a premier recognition experience for members at each of our BGCWV sites. Youth of the Year is our signature effort to foster a new generation of leaders, fully prepared to live and lead in a diverse, global, and integrated world economy.

We invite you to join us by celebrating excellence in Leadership & Character Development.

WHAT IS

YOUTH OF THE YEAR?

The Youth of the Year program has honored and celebrated the nation’s most inspiring teens and their incredible journeys. Stories of outstanding leadership, service, academic excellence, and dedication to living a healthy lifestyle have made Youth of the Year America’s premier leadership and recognition program for teens. These amazing young people represent the voice and spirit of hope for America. Inspiring all kids to lead. To succeed. To inspire.

Every month each program site selects a Youth of the Month throughout the school year. In February, those youth present to a panel of judges, then a BGCWV candidate is selected. This annual event will give you the opportunity to meet and celebrate our three Youth of the Year finalists.
