ATTEND OUR 2022 YOUTH OF THE YEAR EVENT

YOUTH OF THE YEAR
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
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.
Each year, one exceptional Club member is selected to represent the Boys & Girls Club of the West Valley in the local process.
They then serve as the ambassador for the Boys & Girls Club of the West Valley youth as well as a voice. Over the decades, these individuals have exemplified the Boys & Girls Club mission and are proof of the impact Clubs make in transforming and saving kids’ lives.
This annual event will give you the opportunity to meet our three finalists from Canoga Park High School, Chatsworth High School, and Cleveland High School.
SELECTION
PROCESS
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.
Each year, from the thousands of Club teens who participate locally a state the regional Youth of the Year is selected. Six teens, including five regional winners and a national military youth winner, advance to the National Youth of the Year Celebration, where one outstanding young person is named Boys & Girls Clubs of America’s national teen spokesperson. The National Youth of the Year is a role model, leader, and advocate for over 4.6 million youth served by Boys & Girls Clubs each year, and all of America’s young people.
