The Boys & Girls Clubs of America’s Military Youth of the Year was introduced in 2013 to recognize outstanding teens served by BGCA-affiliated youth centers on U.S. military installations worldwide.
Finalists emerge from local, state and regional competitions to represent youth centers in six regions:
- Overseas
- Northeast United States
- Southeast United States
- Pacific United States
- Midwest United States
- Southwest United States
The National Military Youth of the Year winner advances to the final round to join the five Regional Youth of the Year winners from non-military Boys & Girls Clubs, to vie for the honor of National Youth of the Year.
