Today we are celebrating our Youth of the Year finalist from East Branch, Angel! As East Branch’s Keystone President, he refined his skills as a decision-maker and took charge of organizing community service projects that aim to positively impact teens, their Club and local communities. With support from the Club, Angel has been able to follow his career goal of becoming a cardiovascular surgeon. Now he hopes to be a voice for youth and work with future generations of leaders to provide all of the necessary resources they need to succeed.
We are incredibly grateful to our major 2020 Youth of the Year Gala sponsors, BNSF Railway, Olympus Property and Baylor Scott & White Orthopedic and Spine Hospital - Arlington for supporting teens like Angel! #begreat #greatfutures #youth #community #philanthropy
This week we are highlighting our three Youth of the Year finalists! Today we would like to introduce North Branch member, Mariah! Mariah has been an incredibly active Club member for four years. In every Club program, Mariah has asserted herself as a leader and has built an excellent rapport with other members at the Club. She credits the Club with giving her opportunities to win awards and scholarships, and engage in activities that involve giving back to the community and Club. Currently, she is working to achieve her goal of attending Harvard University to become a lawyer.
Thank you to our major 2020 Youth of the Year Gala sponsors, BNSF Railway, Olympus Property and Baylor Scott & White Orthopedic and Spine Hospital - Arlington for investing in kids like Mariah!
