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.
Kyla is a 17-year-old Apprentice Staff at the Orchards Boys & Girls Club. Her journey with the club started after receiving some devastating news within her family. Kyla doesn’t use this as crutch to lean on, but uses her own experiences to create a positive and welcoming environment for our club members.
She loves cheerleading and brings her bright personality and positivity into the Club, her attitude is infectious. She strives to be a positive role model that club members can look up to, and she is doing just that. Kyla’s compassion and determination helps her excel in everything she puts her mind to.
We are incredibly proud to recognize Kyla as our Orchards Clubhouse Youth of the Year.
