The Youth of the Year Program is Boys & Girls Club’s premier leadership and recognition program which celebrates the extraordinary achievements of Club members. The New Jersey Youth of the Year recognizes teens from across the state who demonstrate outstanding leadership, service, academic excellence, and dedication to living healthy lifestyles. These amazing young people represent the voice and spirit of hope, exemplify the Boys & Girls Club mission, and are proof of the critical impact Clubs make in transforming and saving kids’ lives.

Thank you to all of our generous sponsors, golfers and new friends for coming together to champion Boys & Girls Clubs in New Jersey’s work to ensure that all New Jersey kids have a great future!
