Wakeman Boys & Girls Club's Youth of the Year is selected from among these Clubhouse winners and goes on to contend for the Connecticut Youth of the Year title. The journey then continues to the Northeast Regional Youth of the Year, and ultimately six finalists will advance to the National Youth of the Year event to vie for the title of Boys & Girls Clubs of America’s National Youth of the Year.
Becoming National Youth of the Year is an exciting and inspiring journey. Each year, thousands of Club teens participate in local, state and regional Youth of the Year events. The National Youth of the Year is a teen spokesperson, role model, leader and advocate for over 4.6 million youth served by Boys & Girls Clubs each year, and all of America’s young people.
