Meet our 2024 Youth of the Year
Youth of the Year is our signature effort to foster a new generation of leaders, fully prepared to live and lead in a diverse, global and integrated world economy. Youth of the Year is the highest honor a Boys & Girls Club kid can receive.
We believe every young person has what it takes to reach their potential. Each day across Oxnard and Port Hueneme, we provide opportunities and experiences for our kids and teens to thrive. Having a place to belong and someone who believes in you can have a powerful impact. Our Youth of the Year is a shining example of this and exemplify what it means to be a Club kid.
