The Boys and Girls Clubs of Fullerton held its annual Youths of the Year ceremony on Friday, January 22, 2010. Four youths were given the prestigious title this year – one for each Club branch.

This year’s event was sponsored locally by Fullerton Rotary South and was held at the Fullerton Elks Lodge. Among other qualities, the program recognizes superior leadership skills, academic achievement, obstacles overcome and outstanding service to Boys & Girls Clubs and the community. Youth of the year, which has been a tradition of Boys and Girls Clubs across the country since 1947, is sponsored on a national level by The Reader’s Digest Foundation.

Other club members from each of the four sites were also recognized for excelling in certain areas of club activities. These areas were Games Room, Education, Technology and Arts, Club Service and Athletics.

All four of this year’s winners will be recognized at the Orange County Youth of the Year competition!
