The 2020 Youth of the Year was hosted at Delta Hotels Phoenix in Mesa, Arizona on Friday, February 7, 2020 and honored and recognized high school sophomores, juniors and seniors who emerged as the outstanding representatives of their individual branches.

Proceeds from this event support the programs and activities offered at the 11 branches, as well as provide scholarship and financial aid to qualifying members. Over 300 Club members have been awarded college and continued education scholarships.

​If you have never attended our Youth of the Year Dinner, you are missing out on one of the most inspiring opportunities of your life. You’ll hear first-hand from our candidates about how Boys & Girls Clubs has changed their lives. These young people are the best and brightest of our organization, and in many cases have overcome homelessness, broken families, financial hardships, and other obstacles that most people can’t even imagine.

Meet all of our 2020 Youth of the Year Candidates!
