FORT WALTON BEACH, Fla. – The Boys and Girls Clubs of the Emerald Coast has announced its Youth of the Year Awards.

“Youth of the Year winners embody the values of leadership and service and have proven academic excellence. This group of remarkable young people makes the lives of all those around them better by their kindness, leadership, service, and encouragement to others,” said Shervin Rassa, CEO of the Boys and Girls Clubs of the Emerald Coast 

“Together, we congratulate each of them for all of their hard work and dedication to the Clubs and our community.”

Since 1947, the Youth of the Year program has been the Boys & Girls Clubs of America’s premier recognition program, providing the highest honor any teen member can receive.

The addition of the Junior Youth of the Year extends these opportunities to youth ages 10-13 years old.

The Youth of the Year (YOY) embodies the values of leadership, character, and service; academic excellence; and living a healthy lifestyle.

Each year, thousands of Club teens participate in local, state, and regional Youth of the Year events. Six teens advance to the National Youth of the Year, where one outstanding young person is named National Youth of the Year.

This national teen spokesperson is a role model, leader, and advocate for the millions of youth served by Clubs each year and all of America’s young people.
