In celebration of International Women's History Month, Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Baltimore hosted a powerful and inspiring panel discussion—designed, led, and moderated by our teen members.

Each year, Youth of the Year is a showcase of what is possible when young people are given the chance to be seen, heard, and supported. Held at our new Baltimore Ravens Boys & Girls Club, the day centered on one important theme: helping young people find and use their voice. Families, staff, and community members gathered to celebrate and hear from the young people at the heart of it all. 

At Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Baltimore, we believe young people deserve more than support they deserve a voice. That’s why advocacy is a big part of what we do.  This month, our work was nationally recognized when we received the “Hero for Youth” award from Boys & Girls Clubs of America for standing up for Maryland’s young people. But awards aren’t the goal. Impact is.
