Join us Thursday, February 26, 2026!

Each year, Boys & Girls Clubs of Martin County proudly hosts our Youth of the Year Ceremony, a signature event that celebrates the leadership, character, and resilience of our outstanding Club members. This inspiring evening recognizes youth who exemplify academic success, strong character, and a commitment to service, and who serve as role models for their peers and our community.

The Youth of the Year Ceremony is a FREE, community-wide event, and everyone is welcome to attend. Held at our Greater Stuart Club, the evening is designed to be both meaningful and welcoming. Guests will enjoy a mocktail hour, followed by a buffet-style dinner prepared by our talented Culinary Team, showcasing the skills our members are developing through hands-on learning and workforce readiness experiences.

Beyond the celebration, Youth of the Year represents the heart of our mission: empowering young people to reach their full potential as productive, caring, and responsible citizens. The honorees share their stories, reflect on the impact of the Club in their lives, and highlight the importance of safe spaces, mentorship, and opportunity.

By bringing together families, supporters, and community members, the Youth of the Year Ceremony honors individual achievement while reinforcing our collective commitment to the next generation of leaders.

To RSVP to the ceremony, please email specialevents@bgcmartin.org

Thank you to our incredible sponsors!
