2023 Military Finalists
Military Youth of the Year
The Military Youth of the Year honor is a distinct component of the National Youth of the Year program. It recognizes a Club member served on a U.S. military installation who has overcome enormous odds and demonstrated exceptional character and accomplishments. To earn this honor, Club youth advance through local, state and regional competitions. After the Military Youth of the Year is named at the culminating ceremony in August, he or she advances to join the five regional Youth of the Year finalists from non-military Clubs to compete for the National Youth of the Year title.
“For 30 years, Boys & Girls Clubs of America has partnered with the U.S. Armed Services to do whatever it takes to serve the unique needs of military-connected youth, impacting youth like Victor and millions others.”
