The Youth of the Year program provides young people with the leadership tools and values they need to achieve success both now and in the future, becoming committed, caring, and responsible adults.
The Youth of the Year selection is an exciting and motivating process that begins at the local level and culminates with the participation of the selected youth as an ambassador for Boys & Girls Clubs of Puerto Rico in Washington, D.C. Where, without a doubt, the commitment and potential of our young people and their desire to achieve a GREAT FUTURE shines.
