Youth of the Year
The Youth of the Year program fosters young people’s character, personal growth and leadership qualities by promoting service to Club, community and family; academic performance; moral character; life goals; and poise and public speaking ability. Each local Clubhouse recognizes members ages 14-18 who were Youths of the Month. Those chosen from each Clubhouse participate in the countywide Youth of the Year, who then participates in state competition. State winners, who each receive $1,000 scholarships, participate in regional competitions. Five regional winners each receive an engraved plaque and a $10,000 scholarship and compete on the national level. The National Youth of the Year receives an additional $50,000 scholarship.
