"I have my Youth Center to thank for pushing me out of my comfort zone and making me the leader I am today."

Kathryn spent 14 years as a Club member. When she was honored as Youth of the Year, she was a member of White Sands Missile Range Children and Youth Services in New Mexico. As Youth of the Year, she worked to raise awareness of the harm bullying causes to young people. Her Club Experience allowed her to excel academically, leading her to apply to the only early college high school in New Mexico, where she received her associate of science degree, associate of arts degree and two medical certifications. She is currently enrolled at the University of New Mexico.
