Last week yielded a truly spectacular night at the 2026 National Youth of the Year Celebration. Serving in my capacity as a National Trustee for @BGCA_Clubs (Boys & Girls Clubs of America), I felt immense gratitude for the chance to listen to the compelling stories shared by these phenomenal Club Kids and to honor their success. These finalists serve as a perfect testament to what can be achieved when youth are provided with the necessary support, encouragement, and avenues to succeed. #AmericaNeedsClubKids.
