The Youth of the Year program honors and celebrates our community’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. Inspiring all kids to lead. To succeed. To inspire.

Each year, one exceptional Club member is selected to be the Youth of the Year, serving as an ambassador for Boys & Girls Clubs of Grand Rapids at the state competition.
