Established in 1947, Youth of the Year is Boys & Girls Clubs of America's premier youth recognition program for Club members, promoting service to Club, community and family; academic performance; moral character; life goals; and poise and public speaking ability. Local clubs recognize members ages 14 to 18 as Youths of the Month and select a Youth of the Year, who then participates in the state competition. State winners each receive a $1,000 scholarship and participate in regional competitions. Five regional winners each receive a $10,000 scholarship and compete on the national level. The National Youth of the Year receives an additional $15,000 scholarship and is installed by the President of the United States.
