Leadership programs empower youth to support and influence their club and community, sustain meaningful relationships and develop a positive self-image. Our members have the opportunity to learn planning, decision-making and how to contribute to the club and the community.
Youth of the Year
Sponsored by The Reader's Digest Foundation, the National 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. The organization selects a Youth of the Year who receives a certificate and medallion then enters state competition. State winners receive a plaque and enter the regional competition. Regional winners receive a $5,000 scholarship and enter a national competition held in Washington, DC. The National Youth of the Year receives an additional $10,000 scholarship and is installed by the President of the United States.
Torch Club
This small-group leadership development program, sponsored by Staples, is targeted for youngsters ages 11-13. Within some 700 Torch Clubs across the country, members elect officers and plan and implement their own activities and community service projects. Each Torch Club receives an official charter from Boys & Girls Clubs of America.
