Over 25 Club members were recognized at yesterday’s Junior Youth of the Year Recognition Night. Club members from our elementary and middle school sites were recognized on all of their outstanding commitment to excellence, participation, and leadership in their community. “I am so happy to see all of these kids get recognized,” said one parent. We are so grateful to have made an impact on these future leaders. 
Our Blue Spirit Award was presented to members that have demonstrated an outstanding commitment to BGCDt by their mentors. (Roel Ephrem, Jimmy Gutierrez, Jonathan Herrar, Maximo Martinez, Neftali Ruiz, Melanie Saavadra, Jarae Stokes).

Our Junior Youth of the Year was presented to our members that have demonstrated outstanding leadership qualities among their peers. The Jr. YOY has given back to their community by being productive, responsible, and caring citizens.
