The National Youth of the Year serves as a role model, leader and advocate for their generation and the more than 3 million youth served by Boys & Girls Clubs.  

Boys & Girls Clubs of America welcomed six teen finalists from Boys & Girls Clubs across the nation and overseas to its home city of Atlanta in celebration of its annual “National Youth of the Year” gala, gathering notable celebrity alumni, influencers and supporters including:
