CASPER, Wyo. (Wyoming News Now) – As the Boys and Girls Clubs of Central Wyoming (BGCCW) prepare to host its 26th annual awards and recognition breakfast event, nine youth have been nominated for the title of Youth of the Year.

The winner of the title of Youth of the Year will receive a $7500 scholarship.
By recognizing these youth, the BGCCW team hopes to empower teens and shape the next generation of leaders.
Teen Director Sherman Hill explains, “A lot of them want to do something fantastic in the future. They want to be social workers, they want to be teachers, they want to do everything like that. So this is that stepping stone of letting them show, if they give back to the community, give back to the club, they have this opportunity to get that head step.”
