Programs in this Core Program Area empower youth to support and influence their Club and community, sustain meaningful relationships with others, develop a positive self-image, participate in the democratic process and respect their own and others’ cultural identities.
Youth of the Year
The Youth of the Year program promotes and celebrates service to Club, community and family; academic performance; moral character; life goals; and poise and public speaking ability. The Youth of the Year program is used as a year-round tool for fostering young people’s character, personal growth and leadership qualities. One to two teens are selected to represent the club at the local BGCH YOY competition. From there, the winning teen represents the state, and potential the region and nation. James Stabilio of the Spalding Clubhouse went to California in July 2011 to represent the state of Hawaii for the Youth of the Year competition.
