For 140 years, Boys & Girls Clubs of America ...has been saving and changing the lives of youth in the United States and around the world.

Our Mission...to provide a safe place for youth of all backgrounds and ages to become responsible and productive adults.

In every community, boys and girls are left to find their own recreation and companionship in the streets. An increasing number of children are at home with no adult care or supervision. Young people need to know that someone cares about them.

Boys & Girls Clubs offer that and more. Club programs and services promote and enhance the development of boys and girls by instilling a sense of competence, usefulness, belonging and influence.

Boys & Girls Clubs are a safe place to learn and grow -- all while having fun. It is truly The Positive Place For Kids.

Youth of the Year

Boys & Girls Clubs of America's premier youth recognition program promotes and celebrates Club members' service to Club, community and family; academic performance; spiritual values; life goals and poise and public speaking ability.

The Youth of the Year program is most effective when used as a year-round tool for fostering young people's personal growth and leadership qualities.

Local Clubs recognize Youths of the Month and select a Youth of the Year, who then participates in state competition. State winners participate in regional competition.

Five regional winners each receive a $5,000 scholarship and compete on the national level. The National Youth of the Year receives an additional $10,000 scholarship and is installed by the President of the United States.

The Youth of the Year Program, in existence for more than 50 years, is sponsored by the Reader's Digest Association. Youth of the Year Program Kits are sent free of charge to Clubs each year.
