Boys & Girls Clubs of San Diego


Character & Leadership
Helping youth become responsible caring citizens and acquire skills for participating in the democratic process is the main thrust of our Character & Leadership Programs.
2009 YOUTH OF THE YEAR
The “Youth of the Year” is the top honor bestowed upon a member, awarded for service to their Club and their community. The Boys & Girls Clubs is extremely proud of our remarkable young people, the example they set for others, and the successful futures they dream. Youth of the Year is just one program aimed at developing our next generation of leaders. Each year it costs about $280,000 to keep each one of our locations open. We need your help and support to ensure that these youngsters can continue to dream and are given the tools to make those dreams come true.

My goal is to go to college. The Club is helping me achieve that by motivating me to do better.

The Youth of the Year Program is designed to promote and recognize service to Club and community, academic performance and contributions to family and spiritual life. Each Club selects a Youth of the Year who then goes on to regional and national competition. The Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater San Diego is proud to present our youth of the year for 2009.
