It promotes and celebrates service to Club, community, and family, academic performance, moral character, life goals, poise and public speaking ability.
Our organization selects one Youth of the Year from members ages 14-18 who then proceeds to a state-wide competition. If chosen as the state winner they will have the opportunity to compete in a regional competition. The five regional winners across the country then compete for the National Youth of the Year. This honor is installed by the President of the United States of America.
Eliza is a 17-year-old apprentice staff member at the Orchards Boys & Girls Club. She is dedicated to creating a positive environment for our members and consistently goes above and beyond to make each child feel welcomed, supported, and valued.
Eliza has one of the biggest hearts, making her a reliable support not only for our members, but for her peers as well. Outside of the Club, Eliza serves as President of Family, Career and Community Leaders of America, an active Students of the Valley Advocacy member, helps at her family-owned restaurant, and is a dual-enrolled student.
Eliza's strong will, determination, and sense of community help her excel in whatever she puts her mind to. We are incredibly proud to recognize Eliza as our Boys & Girls Clubs of the Lewis Clark Valley Youth of the Year.
