22 YOUTH OF THE YEAR
Academic Success, Healthy Lifestyles, Good Character & Citizenship: these are the priority outcomes our Clubs work to develop in all of our Club members. Perhaps the single best manifestation of these results is experienced during Youth of the Year. Each year in January, the Skagit community comes together to celebrate youth during a waypoint in the Youth of the Year journey and timeline. Those that attend the Youth of the Year Dinner leave inspired, and often with a much deeper understanding as to the impact that Boys & Girls Club staff and volunteers have had in the lives of Club members. Club members ages 14-18 are eligible to participate in the program that equips youth with important real world skills including resume preparation, essay composition, and speech development. They learn interview techniques, how to network in a business setting, plan appropriately to reach goals, and most of all, how to serve as a model leader to their peers. The Youth of the Year program, started in 1947, begins at the Club level with preparation in the fall that results in one Club member being selected at their Clubhouse Dinner with Friends, held in November. From there, the Club Youth of the Year’s continue honing their skills through repetition, workshops, and a retreat, held jointly with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Thurston County, and Boys & Girls Clubs of Benton and Franklin Counties. Club members ages 14-18 are eligible to participate in the program that equips youth with important real world skills including resume preparation, essay composition, and speech development. They learn interview techniques, how to network in a business setting, plan appropriately to reach goals, and most of all, how to serve as a model leader to their peers. Pg 22, L to R: Erin H.
