17th Annual Youth of the Year Luncheon

Youth of the Year Club members nationwide move on from a local-level competition to a state-level competition.

• State-level winners receive a $1,000 scholarship and proceed to a regional-level competition.
• A total of 5 regional winners are selected from 5 U.S. regions and proceed to a national competition, which takes place in Washington, D.C. As this serves as the highest honor for a Club member, regional Youth of the Year winners are recognized at the White House by the President!
• Each regional winner receives an engraved plaque from the President and a $10,000 scholarship.
  From the regional finalists, one Club member is chosen to represent all Boys & Girls Clubs across the country as the National Boys & Girls Club Youth of the Year! This Club member also receives an additional $50,000 scholarship.
